Biography

Jakob F. Williams is a member of the Litigation Group, specializing in representing employers facing various challenges, including wage and hour disputes, discrimination, retaliation, whistleblower claims, and other state and federal employment issues. He has a comprehensive background, having represented employers on both sides of the spectrum—as plaintiffs and defendants—in restrictive covenant actions.
