Brian M. Jorgensen

Brian Jorgensen dedicates his practice to representing employers in a broad range of high-stakes, complex litigation matters with a focus on class actions. His experience is particularly deep in wage and hour litigation, where he has had repeated success in defeating class and/or collective certification, as well as securing dismissal through motions attacking the legal sufficiency or merits of claims. Brian also has extensive experience defending individual and multiplaintiff cases involving employment discrimination, Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and whistleblower claims as well as trade secret and restrictive covenant matters.

In addition to his litigation responsibilities, Brian advises clients on a variety of employment issues, including compliance with the patchwork of federal, state, and local employment laws; HR policies; employment agreements; employee leave and attendance issues; restrictive covenants; and reductions in force. He regularly assists with wage/hour audits and compliance. He also provides guidance on, and leads, internal investigations of employee complaints, including discrimination, sexual harassment, and Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower complaints.

Brian serves as the administrative partner for the Dallas Office and is a member of the Labor & Employment sections of the Texas State Bar Association and the Dallas Bar Association.
