Littler Adds Shareholder Jon Yonemitsu in San Diego
Jon C. Yonemitsu has joined Littler as a shareholder in its San Diego office. He joins Littler from Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP. Yonemitsu’s arrival follows the return of shareholder Liseanne Kelly, who rejoined Littler earlier this year.
The firm said Yonemitsu counsels and defends companies in a wide range of employment law matters, including discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims under Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act, and the California Family Rights Act. He has experience representing clients in single and multi-plaintiff employment litigation, wage and hour class and collective action litigation, and Private Attorneys General Act claims, as well as before federal and state administrative agencies.
In addition to his litigation practice, Yonemitsu counsels employers on federal and state compliance matters, including in relation to hiring and termination, wage and hour issues, employee handbooks, workplace trainings, data security and restrictive covenants.
Before entering private practice, Yonemitsu served as deputy district attorney at the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office. He earned his J.D. from California Western School of Law and his B.A. from Oregon State University.
