As labor and employment work surges, Morgan Lewis & Bockius has added litigator Brian Berry, the co-chair of California class action practice at Ogletree Deakins, to its San Francisco office.

Berry's practice focuses on defending employers facing complex class and systemic alleged discrimination, misclassification and wage-and-hour claims, the firm said. Prior to Ogletree, Berry spent nine years as a complex commercial litigator at Latham & Watkins.
