Fairchild Employment Law is a woman-owned firm dedicated to representing employees who have faced discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful treatment in the workplace. What makes us different is simple: we know how employers and their legal teams think because we’ve been on that side of the table.
The Advantage of Experience on Both Sides
Our founding attorney, Jillian Fairchild, spent 15 years defending employers and insurance companies before shifting her practice to fight exclusively for workers. This background gives us a strategic edge: we understand defense tactics, insurance dynamics, and corporate decision-making from the inside out, allowing us to build stronger cases and maximize results for our clients.
In 2025, we expanded our team with associate attorney Morgan Ruiz, who brings three years of plaintiff-side employment litigation experience from a major Los Angeles firm. Together, we combine deep understanding of both sides of employment litigation with genuine compassion for the challenges our clients face.
Our Approach
We recognize that confronting your employer is stressful and often traumatic. Our practice centers on empathy, which includes listening to your story, providing clear guidance, and supporting you throughout the legal process. We’ve walked in the shoes of workers in restaurants, retail, offices, and countless other workplaces, and we understand what unfair treatment looks like in real life.
