Bio
Jason Ross is a partner in WSHB’s San Diego office where his practice focuses on labor and employment. He represents employers of all sizes in a myriad of complex employment matters.
His work includes representing clients in single-plaintiff employee litigation, wage and hour class actions, and Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA) representative actions. Jason represents clients in state and federal court, arbitrations, and administrative proceedings, in addition to counseling clients on employment issues.
Jason also handles complex business litigation disputes involving real estate, business dissolution, unfair competition, breach of contract, and trade secret claims. He has successfully represented clients in appeals in the California Court of Appeal and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
He has secured countless victories for clients, including a reversal of a class certification decision on an interlocutory appeal, resulting in the decertifying of a statewide class of more than 20,000 retail employees in an expansive wage-and-hour case. Jason also obtained a full defense judgment after trial of a PAGA representative action involving wage-and-hour claims of over 20,000 retail employees who had made nine-figure demands.
Jason graduated from Columbia University and earned his law degree from the University of San Diego School of Law. He is frequently called upon to present on employment matters at both statewide and national conferences.
