OUTSOURCED EMPLOYMENT COUNSEL

Pacific Employment Law attorneys often act as outsourced employment counsel for their clients.  Maureen Bogue spent several years as in-house employment counsel for a global company, so she understands the challenges faced by in-house counsel and human resource professionals.  Companies seek advice from Pacific Employment Law because we provide implementable solutions to complex employment and HR challenges.
