    SAN FRANCISCO, CA, January 13, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Carothers DiSante & Freudenberger LLP (CDF), an award-winning California employment, labor and immigration law firm recognized for protecting California employers for more than 20 years, announces the promotion of Teresa W. Ghali to Partner in its San Francisco office. In her new leadership capacity, Ghali will advise and defend California employers against class actions and single plaintiff claims in federal and state courts, as well as administrative proceedings before the EEOC, DLSE, and DFEH.

Ghali's areas of practice include class actions, wage and hour issues, EEO litigation, and wrongful termination litigation. Her recent successes as an experienced trial and appellate attorney include obtaining: denial of class certification in Duran v. U.S. Bank (Alameda Cty. Sup. Ct. 2016); class decertification in Trahan v. U.S. Bank (N.D. Cal. 2015); and summary judgment in a single plaintiff wrongful termination action, Parker v. Comcast (N.D. Cal. 2017). Ghali has also resolved wage and hour claims before state administrative agencies and settled numerous single plaintiff lawsuits prior to and during litigation.

"Teresa possesses and exemplifies the characteristics we're seeking in a partner," said CDF Northern California Labor Litigator Partner Mark S. Spring.

We have no doubt that with Teresa joining our firm partnership, our Bay Area office will keep thriving and delivering outstanding results to our clients."

Ghali is a regular contributor to the California Employment Law Letter, a biweekly newsletter that keeps California in-house counsel, managers and HR professionals apprised of new statewide employment laws and developments. In 2010, Ghali spent two months as a volunteer Deputy District Attorney in Marin County, and in that capacity, prosecuted five jury trials and a bench trial to verdict.

Her stellar track record of defending employers in employment, breach of contract, and insurance matters has earned Ghali her place on the Super Lawyers Northern California Rising Star list for the past eight years, a recognition bestowed upon less than 2.5 percent of attorneys in each state.

Ghali graduated from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall), where she served as editor of the Asian American Law Journal and was a board and founding member of the Chinese Law Society.
