Her combined commitment to staying current on workplace legislation, key court decisions and agency regulations and deliberately aligning legal strategies with business objectives makes her a valued business partner for employers. Fluent in both English and Spanish, Ena understands the power and importance of communication and prioritizes listening as critical to her ability to break down complex legal concepts into straightforward, practical language and develop bespoke solutions for every client. Ena litigates employment law cases across a wide range of issues, with a particular focus on the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), sexual harassment, restrictive covenants, and wage and hour disputes arising from alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, in federal and state courts, before administrative agencies and arbitration. Similar to her overall approach as legal counsel, Ena takes into account the client’s business culture, objectives and risk tolerance which is particularly critical when developing a tailored litigation strategy. Throughout her years of practicing workplace law, Ena has represented employers in matters and disputes across various industries, including hospitality, retail, finance, education, wellness, logistics, and construction. One of the aspects Ena has enjoyed most about practicing employment law has been learning about the business of each of the organizations she represents, and she channels that passion, knowledge and experience to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients.
