In addition, Meer has a record of defeating class certification in wage and hour cases, as well as discrimination and civil rights cases.

"Jon's contagious enthusiasm for his work along with his passion for providing first-class counsel to his clients are the very qualities that propel clients to refer to ours as among 'the go-to' firms for labor and employment matters in California and nationally," said Jeremy P.

Youmans, Office Managing Partner of the firm's Los Angeles office. "We have every expectation that he'll greatly contribute to the ongoing success of both our office's and the firm's national labor and employment practice. Equally important, Jon will be a wonderful colleague who will add much to our social fabric."

Meer graduated with honors from Cornell University and later earned his J.D. from Boston University School of Law where he was Honorable Paul J. Liacos Scholar in the Law and Law Journal Executive Editor for Publication. He is a member of the Labor and Employment Law Section of the American Bar Association, a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, and has served as a lecturer in the Lawyer in the Classroom program sponsored by the Constitutional Rights Foundation.
