Message From the Chair
By Thomas Lenz
Thomas Lenz is a partner in the Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo law firm (Cerritos and Pasadena offices). He advises and represents employers on labor and employment law. He attended Marquette University (B.A.) and Louisiana State University Law Center (J.D.). He began his career with National Labor Relations Board Region 21 (Los Angeles). He teaches at the USC Gould School of Law.

It is a tremendous honor to be selected as the Chair of the Executive Committee of the State Bar’s Labor and Employment Law Section. The work of the Section—to provide education and outreach to attorneys and the public on issues of the workplace—is significant, valuable, and irreplaceable.
To introduce myself, I wanted to share some background on me and my law practice. Additionally, I will talk about some of the things I’m looking forward to in the year ahead with the Section.
