Overview

Jonas Trevethan is an Employment Associate in Rutan & Tucker’s Irvine office. Jonas’s practice includes representing and defending management in arbitration and civil actions involving a broad range of employment disputes, including wage and hour class actions and Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) representative claims, discrimination and harassment claims, and wrongful termination and retaliation claims.

Outside of the litigation context, Jonas also assists employers in drafting employee handbooks and arbitration agreements, handling workplace discrimination and harassment investigations, and conducting payroll and onboarding audits to evaluate compliance with California’ complex wage and hour laws.

As a law student at the University of California, Irvine School of Law, Jonas competed in moot court and was an associate editor of the UC Irvine Law Review. During that time, Jonas also participated in the school’s Appellate Litigation Clinic, where he represented an indigent client on complex immigration issues before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
