Employment Mediation Practice Areas

Corey Hanrahan mediates the full spectrum of California employment disputes. With nearly two decades of employment law litigation experience, he brings firsthand knowledge of how these claims are valued, and what it takes to resolve them.

Wrongful Termination

Wrongful termination disputes are among the most common employment claims in California, involving complex factual and legal questions about the circumstances of an employee’s separation. Corey’s experience mediating and litigating these cases in San Diego gives him a precise understanding of how wrongful termination claims are valued and what it takes to bring both sides to resolution.

Harassment

Workplace harassment claims are among the most emotionally sensitive employment disputes, often involving a significant breakdown in trust that makes resolution more challenging. Corey’s de-escalation approach to San Diego employment mediation is particularly effective in these cases, creating the conditions for settlement even in high-conflict situations.

Discrimination

Employment discrimination claims in California span a wide range of protected characteristics and workplace circumstances, requiring a mediator with deep familiarity with how these cases are built, valued, and defended. Corey’s experience on both sides of San Diego employment disputes gives him the perspective to help parties realistically assess their positions and move toward resolution.

Retaliation

Retaliation claims are among the most frequently litigated employment disputes in California, often involving overlapping facts that require careful and experienced navigation. Corey’s litigation background allows him to engage meaningfully with both sides during San Diego employment mediation and help parties honestly evaluate the strengths and risks of their positions.

Whistleblower Retaliation

Whistleblower retaliation cases involve deeply held convictions on both sides about what occurred and why, which can make California employment mediation particularly challenging without the right mediator. Corey understands the unique dynamics these disputes bring to the table and works to help all parties move past entrenched positions toward a workable resolution.

Wage and Hour Disputes

Wage and hour disputes are among the most common employment claims filed in California, ranging from individual cases to complex multi-plaintiff matters with significant exposure. Corey is experienced mediating the full spectrum of these disputes in San Diego, including overtime, meal and rest break, misclassification, and PAGA claims.

Constructive Termination

Constructive termination claims center on competing narratives about workplace conditions and whether a resignation was truly voluntary, making them among the more nuanced employment disputes to mediate. Corey helps both sides work through the factual disagreements at the heart of these California employment cases, keeping the focus on reaching a practical resolution.

Failure to Accommodate

Failure to accommodate disputes involve good faith disagreements about workplace obligations and the steps each side took to address an employee’s needs, and they are a frequent area of California employment litigation. Corey understands both the legal framework and the human dimensions of these cases, helping parties on both sides find practical common ground.

Breach of Contract

Employment contract disputes often involve competing interpretations of written agreements and nuanced questions about how damages interact with other claims in the case. Corey brings experience mediating these California employment disputes with a clear understanding of how contract claims are valued alongside tort and statutory claims in complex matters.
