EMPOWER - Key Persons
Ariel is an entrepreneur, a leading employment lawyer, and an advocate for greater equality, safety, and transparency in the workplace. He is also the founder of #NotMe: the first reporting app to empower both employees and management with accountability for workplace harassment, discrimination, and bullying. #NotMe
Ariel has trained hundreds of employees on the subjects of sexual harassment, discrimination, and bullying. After fifteen years handling a litany of cases involving harassment and discrimination and watching instances of workplace misconduct constantly repeat themselves, Ariel realized that corporate America was in need of a major paradigm shift. As the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements continue to steamroll through the collective consciousness of America, Ariel, along with a team of high-profile advisors, found himself in a unique position to help turn these movements into action.
Ariel has a vision of a world in which his own children will inherit a workplace environment that is safe and equal, allowing them to freely thrive while accomplishing their own dreams. Ariel decided to join Dominic in Empower Law to serve as catalysts toward that very change.
Dominic practiced for 18 years at Littler Mendelson-the nation's largest employment law firm-and spent the last 12 years as a partner. During that time, he litigated hundreds of cases-from single employee claims to class-action lawsuits involving as many as 75,000 employees-in both state and federal court, as well as through arbitration and mediation.
Dominic frequently authors opinions, insights, and articles for major law journals and regularly lectures on employment law topics including arbitration, wage and hour laws, compliance, and alternative dispute resolution. He was named a Super Lawyer Rising Star in 2014 and 2015 and a Super Lawyer again in 2018 and 2019.
Dominic now brings his extensive experience and elite professionalism to Empower Law, representing wronged employees and consumers, and obtaining the best possible results on their behalf.
