Description of Member's Practice: Ashley Bobo is an associate attorney at Sanders Roberts LLP. She focuses her practice on employment litigation and counseling and represents employers and entrepreneurs in a wide variety of industries including retail, manufacturing, hospitality, restaurants, airlines, healthcare, staffing and managed services, private schools, designers, musicians, writers and other creatives.
Ms. Bobo regularly provides in-depth advice to employers on employment law compliance and litigation avoidance, including advice on employee exempt and non-exempt classification, independent contractor status, complex pay practices and policies, wage statements, leaves of absence, drug and alcohol testing, meal and rest periods, alternative workweek scheduling, personnel records, discipline, trade secret disputes, termination and severance agreements. She routinely guides employers in the development and implementation of employment practices, including drafting of employee handbooks, international policy manuals, employment leave documentation; and conducts sexual harassment and workplace investigations.
As a litigator, Ms. Bobo defends both public and private employers in actions involving harassment, retaliation, discrimination, wrongful termination, wage and hour class actions and PAGA claims. She has represented clients before administrative agencies, including Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Ms. Bobo was recognized in 2022 and 2023 by Best Lawyers as a “Ones to Watch”, recognition awarded to young lawyers for their outstanding professional excellence in private practice.
Ms. Bobo holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Harvard University and earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law (USC) in 2016. During her time in law school, Ms. Bobo was a member of the University’s Moot Court Team and represented USC at the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot competition in Hong Kong. She was also able to deepen her passion for the legislative process and helped write and secure passage of Senate Bill SB 382 – a California bill that focused on juvenile sentencing reform. In addition to her legislative work, Ms. Bobo was honored to serve as a campaign intern for Vice President Kamala Harris’s historical 2016 California Senate run.
Ms. Bobo is actively involved in the legal and local community. She has served as a board member for both the John M. Langston Bar Association and the Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles since graduating law school, where she works to raise money and provide scholarships to outstanding and deserving Black law students based on both their merit and need.
