Morrison Foerster Appoints Marjorie Soto Garcia as Partner in Employment + Labor in Los Angeles
"Morrison Foerster hires Marjorie Soto Garcia as partner in its Employment + Labor Group in Los Angeles; she will handle employment and labor matters with a focus on AI-related workplace issues and class action/wage-and-hour litigation."
Soto Garcia brings deep experience providing strategic advice to employers of all sizes, from Fortune 100 companies to startups, on class action employment litigation, labor union and collective bargaining, and workplace compliance. She has served as lead counsel in multiple class and representative actions and regularly counsels clients across industries including technology, healthcare, private equity, and media. She also provides employment advice and counsel on corporate transactions involving emerging companies and private equity clients.
She brings significant experience advising clients on the legal risks associated with the use of AI in workforce decisions, including hiring, payroll, and reductions in workforce headcount. Soto Garcia regularly defends employers in state and federal class and representative actions alleging wage-and-hour and background check violations, including under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the California Labor Code and Wage Orders, the California Private Attorneys General Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and she defends employers in state and federal lawsuits alleging discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination.
Soto Garcia also represents and advises clients on traditional labor matters, including collective bargaining, unfair labor practice charges, union election proceedings, and training on compliance with the National Labor Relations Act for in-house counsel and human resources teams. She frequently speaks on labor and employment law issues with a focus on the evolving intersection of technology, AI, and workplace law, and is fluent in Spanish, advising on Spanish-language workplace policies and interfacing with witnesses and parties in both English and Spanish throughout litigation.
She joins Morrison Foerster from another prominent international law firm, where she led its technology and artificial intelligence practice within the employment group.
