Duggan McHugh Law Corporation
EMPLOYMENT LAW EXPERTS
Jennifer Duggan established Duggan Law
Corporation in 2013, and partner Laura
McHugh joined the firm in 2018. Having
grown from that solo launch to two partners
and six attorneys, this Sacramento-based firm
now takes the name Duggan McHugh Law
Corporation, highlighting the partnership
that specializes in employment law and has
integrated McHugh’s labor law expertise.
“On the litigation side, we defend employers of
all sizes, helping them work toward either trial
or resolution, and on the advice and counsel
side, we help employers keep their businesses
safe from litigation and compliant with
applicable employment laws,” says Duggan.
California law tends to favor employees rather
than employers. Successful businesses must
know their legal workplace responsibilities
— and the rights of workers — to stay clear
of trouble. This is especially true now, as
employers adapt to the pandemic and other
necessary workplace changes.
In good economic times, Duggan McHugh
helps employers deal with hiring, leave
accommodations, bonus and commission
structures, wage and hour compliance, and
more. During downturns, the firm can help
with layoffs, furloughs and Worker Adjustment
and Retraining Notification Act compliance,
and with the COVID-19 pandemic, it can
help businesses navigate worksite-specific
COVID-19 prevention plans, workplace
exposures, and Families First Coronavirus
Response Act compliance.
“Helping businesses survive and thrive
is highly rewarding,” says Duggan. “We
deliver customized approaches and build
strong connections with clients, and,
ultimately, we give practical advice and
achieve efficient results.”
McHugh adds, “I love strategizing with clients
to achieve their best possible results in light
of their particular needs, whether it’s guiding
them through difficult personnel issues or
defending them in a lawsuit brought by one or
several employees.”
Having maintained its own workforce through
the pandemic with no layoffs, furloughs or
pay cuts, and proud of helping its employees
feel safe and job secure, Duggan McHugh
looks forward to helping clients manage their
workforces through these unusual times and
remaining their reliable, trusted legal advisers.
Duggan McHugh
Law Corporation
provides the
highest caliber
legal services to
its clients with
practical, creative,
efficient and
results-oriented
solutions.
