As a seasoned mediator in Los Angeles, Mr. Kampf focuses on employment law disputes, including FEHA and wage/hour matters. Having spent nearly twenty years litigating on behalf of both employees and employers, he offers an insider’s understanding of each side’s challenges—and a practical path to resolution.

For more than 18 years, William Kampf practiced law as a litigator specializing in all aspects of employment law in California. After earning his law degree in 2001, Mr. Kampf worked in Orange County and Los Angeles for two nationally recognized labor and employment law firms, where he represented numerous Fortune 1000 companies. He later joined a boutique Los Angeles firm, representing small and mid-sized businesses as well as individual clients and entrepreneurs.

Eventually, Mr. Kampf established his own practice, focusing on representing employees and collaborating with other plaintiffs’ attorneys. Throughout his litigation career, he gained extensive experience representing clients in court, arbitration, and before state and federal agencies including the EEOC, DFEH, and DLSE. His cases covered a broad range of employment disputes, such as wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, and wage and hour matters—both individual and class actions.

As a litigator, Mr. Kampf often found himself serving as a natural peacemaker between parties. He recognized that many employment disputes arose from miscommunication and saw the value of pursuing resolutions that worked for everyone involved. To strengthen his negotiation skills, he completed mediation training with the Los Angeles County Bar Association and later trained as a mediator with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), where he volunteered as an external mediator.

In 2020, Mr. Kampf transitioned fully into private mediation, bringing his balanced experience, empathy, and practical insight to help parties resolve employment disputes efficiently and effectively.
