Meghan Féronie Loisel joined the firm in 2016 because she wanted to represent employees who stand up for their rights. Meghan specializes in helping employees hold their employers accountable for workplace discrimination and retaliation. She also works to ensure employers honor their contractual commitments to pay employees the wages and benefits they are owed. Meghan’s litigation practice includes both individual cases and class actions in court and arbitration.
During law school, Meghan focused on employment law and worked as a law clerk representing low-income workers at Legal Aid at Work. After completing a litigation fellowship with the American Civil Liberties Union’s Reproductive Freedom Project in New York City, she returned to the Bay Area and worked for Santa Clara County as a Social Justice and Impact Litigation Fellow and then as a deputy county counsel. As public employee and union member herself, Meghan gained meaningful insight into public employee representation. She also gained defense experience by defending the County and its employees in employment, civil rights, and tort cases. Meghan relies on this balanced view of employment litigation to provide her clients with even handed assessments of their cases.
Meghan graduated from New York University School of Law and is a member of the California Bar and New York Bar.
