Brian L. Johnsrud is managing partner of the firm’s Silicon Valley office and a member of the firm’s governing Partners Board.

Mr. Johnsrud has represented companies in their most challenging employment law matters for more than 25 years. He anticipates and solves problems so that companies may focus on their business. His goal is to provide responsive, practical, and concise advice in a personable manner.

When anticipatory and strategic work does not prevent a dispute, Brian defends companies in multiple forums, from agency proceedings and hearings to arbitration and litigation. With many of his clients having arbitration agreements, Brian has developed a specialty there, achieving more than a dozen winning arbitration awards. He gives specific litigation recommendations, from strategy calls to settlement authority, and does so in a cost-effective and results-oriented manner.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Brian not only has excellent legal mind but is also fantastic at client relations."
"He's both creative and practical. I really enjoy working with him."
"Brian hits all the client service highlights: great communicator, excellent litigator, kind and friendly, fantastic value."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"Through your words and more importantly your conduct, show your client that you are there to team with them on their most challenging matters.  Do not fear the fight and be strategic in looking for ways to win, understanding that the client decides what a win looks like (e.g., sound advice that prevents a problem, early negotiated settlement, motion practice, arbitration or trial).  Focus on a thoughtful and responsive partnership with clients and leverage your industry experience."
