Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do non-compete agreements work for Beverly Hills entertainment industry employees?
California generally prohibits non-compete agreements, but talent agencies and entertainment companies often use non-solicitation clauses and confidentiality agreements. Beverly Hills employment attorneys can help distinguish between enforceable and unenforceable contract provisions in your specific industry.
What is the deadline to file an employment discrimination claim in California?
Under California's FEHA, you have three years to file a discrimination lawsuit, but you must first file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing within one year. This timeline is longer than federal protections and provides additional opportunities for resolution.
