About Emily Bushaw

I am a partner in Perkins Coie\'s Labor and Employment practice group, focused on employment litigation, arbitration and counseling. I have extensive experience including defense of discrimination, harassment, retaliation claims, wage-and-hour class actions, whistleblower, trade secret and non-competition claims. I also provide counseling to clients regarding human resources issues, discipline and discharge, employee handbooks and policies, wage-and-hour law, employee classification issues, and arbitration and separation agreements.I also regularly conduct workplace investigations and assist in the resolution of pre-litigation harassment, discrimination, and retaliation charges before the Washington State Human Rights Commission and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
