Megan Hazel defends school districts in all aspects of litigation involving claims of civil rights violations, general liability matters, and labor and employment issues, such as employment discrimination, retaliation, and violations of federal and state laws, including the Family Medical Leave Act and Fair Labor Standards Act. She is an experienced litigator who has worked across a number of business sectors and a diverse array of practice areas. Her background spans in-house, government, small and large law firm experience, and she operated her own solo law practice for several years.
