Cannabis Cultivator Defends Against Wage & Hour Class Action

Represented a large cannabis grower with respect to a broad wage and hour class action. Plaintiff alleged that our client failed to provide meal and rest periods and pay employees for all hours worked.  The potential exposure was in excess of $10 million. On October 28th, after a full day mediation, we completed a settlement below our client’s authority and for well less than 10% of the potential exposure.
