Jeffrey Osofsky is an employment associate in the Los Angeles office of Munger, Tolles & Olson. The focus of his practice is on defending employers and individual managers against employment-based lawsuits ranging from single-plaintiff discrimination/harassment claims to high-exposure wage and hour class actions. He has particular experience with the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the California Labor Code and the Fair Employment and Housing Act. In addition, he has successfully represented major employers in enforcing arbitration agreements against would-be litigants, resulting in major cost savings to his clients. One such victory — in which Mr. Osofsky handled the oral argument — was recently featured in the national law publication Law 360. Mr. Osofsky also penned an article addressing employment "mixed-motives" cases, which was published in the Continuing Education of the Bar (CEB) Blog. Before joining Munger Tolles, Mr. Osofsky practiced management-side employment litigation at the Los Angeles office of a major international firm. Prior to becoming a civil litigator, Mr. Osofsky served as a judicial extern to the Honorable Rosalyn M. Chapman of the United States District Court, Central District of California. In addition, he served a two-month volunteer position as a fully-sworn prosecutor, where, as sole counsel, he tried a domestic violence case to jury verdict and secured a guilty conviction against the perpetrator.
