Leveraging more than two decades of legal, regulatory, and legislative experience, Erika offers a practical and insightful approach to helping clients deal with the effects of California’s employment laws on employee relations and workplace policies.

Prior to joining the Shaw Law Group, Erika served as the General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Legal Affairs at the California Chamber of Commerce, the largest broad-based trade association in California. With a focus on employment law compliance, Erika oversaw CalChamber’s Labor Law Helpline and assisted countless members with their labor and employment law questions.

Erika enjoys educating employers and convincing them that the law can be fun (at least most of the time!)

Erika also conducts impartial workplace investigations for public and private sector employers. Her ability to quickly evaluate complex situations and commitment to “getting it right” make Erika a sought after investigator.

In her spare time, you’ll find Erika: Spending time with her husband, two teenagers and their pup, running with friends in the hills of Auburn, California, and swimming with her Masters Swim buddies at the local pool.
