Located in San Francisco, Villarreal Hutner PC is a minority and woman-owned employment defense law firm comprised of former large firm attorneys.

We represent a wide range of employers, including Fortune 100 companies. Our mission is to understand each client's business needs and to meet those needs cost effectively.

We are trial attorneys and counselors.

At Villarreal Hutner, we help employers avoid litigation by providing practical advice on virtually every issue that can arise in the employment relationship. We regularly counsel employers on a variety of issues, including wage and hour issues, leaves of absences, accommodation of disabilities, performance management, alleged discrimination and/or harassment, employee complaints, pre-employment inquiries, background checks, non-competes, protection of confidential information, employee raiding, workplace investigations, disciplinary matters, and terminations.

When a dispute arises, our clients trust us to take an effective, cost-efficient approach to litigation. To that end, we provide an early, honest assessment of each matter. This enables our clients to determine whether the matter is appropriate for quick resolution, ripe for dispositive motion, or if it is a matter that simply must be litigated. When a case needs to be litigated, clients trust us to put together the team that makes the most sense for the matter at hand. By maximizing strengths, we ensure that all time spent adds value to the defense of the case.

At Villarreal Hutner, we have a solid record of forcing settlement with statutory settlement offers, winning motions for summary judgment and defensing cases at trial. We work hard to ensure the best possible results for our clients. We know that our clients depend on us to protect their interests, and we earn our clients' trust daily with our attention to detail.

At Villarreal Hutner, we offer our clients a diverse group of exceptional, large-firm trained attorneys at competitive rates. Now that's a fresh approach to employment law!
