Labor/Employment in Bay Area Forum

I know it's probably a long-shot, but does anyone know of some well-respected labor and employment firms (or firms with a substantial labor and employment practice) outside of the Vault 100 in the Bay Area (plaintiff or defense side)? I'm having a hard time determining which firms are actually reputable based on Googling, etc.

Look into Littler Mendelson, Jackson Lewis, Ogletree Deakins, and Fisher & Phillips. All are large firms that exclusively handle labor and employment matters, and all have offices in the San Francisco area. Epstein Becker & Green is another firm with a San Francisco office that has a large L&E practice, though I don't believe they exclusively do L&E.

Thanks! I already interviewed with Littler, waiting to hear something from Jackson Lewis, and Ogletree doesn't seem to be hiring . I was thinking more small/boutique firms, which is why I thought it might be a long-shot that someone had any knowledge.

Ah, Fisher & Philips and Epstein Becker & Green sound great, though. Haven't contacted them yet. Thanks!
