Matthew Goldberg

Matthew L. Goldberg works with both emerging companies and established businesses throughout their business life cycles and advises businesses on the impact of AI in the employment context. 

Matthew has a significant background representing clients in wage-and-hour class and collective actions and California Private Attorneys General Act matters, in addition to single-plaintiff retaliation, harassment, and discrimination cases. His experience includes trial work; motion practice; managing expansive discovery, including expert witnesses and statistical evidence; and handling mediations and settlement conferences before state and federal administrative agencies and courts. 

In response to increased attention on the use and classification of independent contractors, Matthew has developed a specific focus on contractor classification analysis and the related pay reporting obligations for California employers. He regularly plays a lead role in comprehensive wage-and-hour audits; the preparation of employee handbooks, policies, and procedures; and workplace trainings for clients to help mitigate litigation risk. His extensive knowledge of the legal standards applicable to all kinds of wage-and-hour claims allows him to efficiently prepare and present practical analyses of potential exposure for clients and offer risk mitigation strategies.
