Kimya Liaghat is an associate attorney in O’Hagan Meyer’s Orange County office, where her practice focuses on labor and employment defense. She represents employers in a wide range of matters, including claims involving harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, and wage and hour disputes. In addition to defending clients in litigation, Ms. Liaghat provides strategic counseling to help employers navigate complex workplace issues and mitigate risk.

Ms. Liaghat brings a valuable perspective to her practice through her experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in employment disputes.
