Christine A. Slattery

Christine Slattery is a seasoned employment attorney who counsels Oregon and Washington employers on a wide variety of employment-related issues, including high-risk terminations, employee handbooks, wage and hour issues, family and medical leave, and compliance with state and federal laws prohibiting harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. She also has particularly deep experience conducting independent workplace investigations related to sexual harassment; age, race, and gender discrimination; FMLA or state-leave protections; retaliation; and allegations of violations related to corporate policies.

Christine is experienced in providing in-depth workplace trainings for management and non-management employees on a wide range of topics, including sexual harassment in the #metoo era; comprehensive anti-discrimination and harassment practices; combating unconscious bias; diversity and inclusion; employee engagement; and maintaining a respectful workplace.

Christine previously practiced as an employment litigator, where much of the litigation she handled was the result of improperly managed internal complaints, employees and company representatives who were unaware of their legal obligations, or employers who had failed to seek assistance prior to making important decisions. Christine then developed a practical, results-driven approach as she transitioned her litigation practice to focus on a proactive approach to employment advice, counseling, training, and independent workplace investigations.

Christine is licensed in both Oregon and Washington and holds a certificate from the Association of Workplace Investigators, an organization dedicated to promoting and enhancing the quality of impartial workplace investigations.
