We Understand How Difficult It Can Be
Coming forward after experiencing sexual abuse is never easy. Many survivors delay reporting because they fear retaliation, losing their job, not being believed, embarrassment, or simply wanting to move forward with their lives.
You are not alone. Our legal team approaches every conversation with compassion, confidentiality, and respect. Speaking with an attorney does not obligate you to file a lawsuit — it simply allows you to understand your legal rights.
Hospitality Workplaces
A Workplace That Should Have Been Safe
Restaurants, bars, hotels, catering companies, event venues, and other hospitality workplaces often involve late-night shifts, isolated work areas, alcohol service, and significant power imbalances between employees and supervisors.
Unfortunately, these environments can sometimes create opportunities for sexual misconduct when employers fail to maintain a safe workplace. Our legal team understands what sexual abuse or assault can do to someone, and we are committed to holding abusers — and the restaurants and businesses that protect them — accountable for their actions.

Why Hospitality Workplaces
Environments That Can Enable Abuse
Conditions in hospitality work can create opportunities for misconduct — especially when employers fail to keep employees safe:
Late-Night Shifts
Hospitality work often runs late into the night, with fewer people around.
Isolated Work Areas
Employees may work alone, or away from others, for long stretches.
Alcohol Service
Workplaces built around alcohol service can heighten the risk of misconduct.
Power Imbalances
Significant power imbalances between employees and supervisors can be exploited.
Unsafe Workplaces
Employers who fail to maintain a safe workplace put employees at risk.
Cover-Ups
Businesses, or their representatives, may cover up prior sexual assault allegations against the perpetrator.
Fear of Retaliation
Many survivors delay reporting because they fear retaliation or losing their job.
Not Being Believed
Embarrassment, and fear of not being believed, keep many survivors silent.
Adult Survivors
These claims are for adults who experienced abuse while employed in California's hospitality industry.
Previously Time-Barred Claims
California Law May Still Allow Your Claim
Under California law, adult survivors can file previously time-barred claims if a business, or its representatives, covered up — or attempted to cover up — prior sexual assault allegations against the perpetrator.
