Litigation partner, trial attorney and chair of Glaser Weil’s Employment Practice, Kerry Garvis Wright is widely recognized for her experience and caliber of service. Since launching the firm’s employment practice, she has been consistently named one of the Daily Journal’s Top Labor & Employment Lawyers in California and a Benchmark Litigation Labor and Employment Star. As Benchmark observed, Kerry “has earned her stripes as a ‘warrior in court and therapist out of court’ with a portfolio of clients including household names in the entertainment elite.” In earning her Chambers ranking, clients shared that Kerry is “tough, smart, strategic, focused and knows employment matters inside and out,” and “she doesn’t miss a beat.”

Kerry has extensive experience representing employers and employees in high-stakes litigation, having first- and second-chaired dozens of jury trials and arbitrations involving claims of workplace discrimination, harassment, whistleblower and other retaliation claims; wage-and-hour claims, including claims brought under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA); and breach of contract and related claims, such as trade secret misappropriation and employee solicitation.
