This work includes counseling companies regarding employment policies and strategy, as well as defending employers against charges of discrimination, wrongful termination, wage issues and other employment-related topics. The rest of Susan’s practice involves commercial cases such as contract breach disputes, real estate foreclosures and construction defect litigation.
Susan has also been representing bank clients in a variety of cases, including actions on guaranty, agreements, foreclosures and receivership actions. She assisted a national bank client in obtaining judgments of over $11 million, and is currently overseeing a receivership that will result in full recovery of the Bank’s loan.
In addition to her employment work, Susan regularly represents national investment companies that buy out the long-term income streams Washington State lottery winners receive when they win a substantial prize.
