Professor Sarah Robertson is a partner and chair of the Employment Practice Group at the law firm of Donahue Fitzgerald LLP in Oakland, California. She has specialized exclusively in employment law in the Bay Area since her graduation from Tulane Law School in 1989.
In her litigation practice, Robertson defends employers in all phases of litigation with an emphasis on harassment, discrimination and retaliation issues. Because she was in practice when the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) became law, she has had a ringside seat to the development of these laws and has litigated employee leave issues extensively. Robertson also counsels employers on employee discipline and termination issues, wage and hour law compliance, harassment investigations, corporate reorganizations, unfair competition, and workplace safety and privacy issues. She has particular expertise in advising clients regarding employee medical and family leave issues and often speaks on those topics to human resource and attorney groups.
