    Berger & Williams, LLP settles historic class action after successful opinion from the California Supreme Court changing the law on use of independent contractors

    August 14, 2020UncategorizedTimothy Williams

     

    In 2018, Tim Williams took over as lead counsel for the firm in Lee v. Dynamex. Originally filed in 2005, the case included two trips to the Court of Appeal and more recently, the California Supreme Court in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court (2018) 4 Cal.5th 903. Changing the law in California on the use of employees/independent contractors, the case has far-reaching implications for a wide range of employment laws, including the extent to which workers must be paid wages and business expenses. The firm represented a class of 230 delivery drivers who were mis-classified as independent contractors, and settled the case in 2020 for $6.25 Million.
