How We Help Families Navigate Nanny Disputes

Defending Active Disputes

When your family faces a claim or lawsuit from a current or former nanny, our skilled team can take immediate action to protect you:

• Investigate the allegations to understand the scope of the dispute
• Develop defenses based on employment records, contracts, and communications
• Negotiate favorable settlements that minimize financial exposure and emotional stress
• Provide vigorous representation in mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings
• Challenge unfounded claims with evidence demonstrating your good faith as an employer

So often, nanny disputes involve sensitive family matters. As such, you can expect us to handle your case with the utmost discretion, all while providing the aggressive legal defense you need. 

Addressing Problems Before They Escalate

If you're experiencing issues with your nanny but no formal claim has been filed, early intervention can prevent litigation, saving you time, money, and stress. 

On your behalf, our attorneys can:

• Assess the situation and advise you on your legal rights and obligations
• Facilitate communication to resolve misunderstandings before they become disputes
• Review documentation to make sure you have records supporting your position
• Guide termination decisions, if ending the employment relationship is necessary
• Draft separation agreements that protect both parties and prevent future claims

Preventing Disputes from the Start

Prevention is your best defense against nanny disputes. We help families in Southern California establish comprehensive and legally compliant nanny agreements that cover compensation, duties, schedules, overtime, sick leave, vacation, termination, and more. 

By setting clear expectations and maintaining legal compliance from the beginning, you can significantly reduce your risk of future conflicts.

Why Nanny Disputes Arise

We frequently see conflicts between families and nannies arise from wage and hour issues, including: 

• Unpaid overtime
• Missed meal breaks
• Off-the-clock work claims

Disputes also stem from claims of wrongful termination, disagreements about job duties or compensation, workers' compensation injuries, and misunderstandings about expectations or working conditions.
