In a release, the firm said Knepper also has experience in assisting clients in planning and conducting reductions-in-force (RIFs) and multiple employee terminations, including evaluating issues and preparing materials relating to the WARN Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.

“Buchalter’s full-service platform and superior resources offered the ideal opportunity and transition for my practice. I am confident that joining Buchalter – an innovative and full service firm – will allow me to strengthen my efforts in successfully serving my client base,” said Knepper.
