Biography

Shane Larsen


Prior to founding Western States Employment Law, P.C. Shane was ​a principal with the national employment law firm Jackson Lewis ​P.C. Now as the managing shareholder of Western States ​Employment Law, Shane’s practice comprises a broad spectrum of ​employment-related counseling, litigation, and workplace ​investigations.


While attending law school in the evening, and following graduation, ​Shane worked full time at a Washington D.C. employment law firm ​handling employment and whistleblower retaliation cases, including ​claims under the False Claims Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, ​and Title VII.


Before pursuing a career in law, Shane was a legislative assistant in ​the U.S. House of Representatives for Idaho Congressman Michael ​K. Simpson, handling natural resources, agriculture, and related ​appropriations. Shane also served in the executive office of the ​president with the Office of Science and Technology Policy as a ​legal intern.


Shane’s litigation practice has covered employment matters such ​as retaliation, discrimination, hostile work environment, and ​wrongful termination.


His counseling practice includes advising employers regarding ​employment policies and practices on federal and state laws, ​severance agreements, leaves of absence and employment ​classifications. Shane also provides training for employers ​managers, and supervisors.


Because Shane has represented both employees and employers ​during his legal career, he is uniquely qualified as a workplace ​investigator to provide employers with a thorough, neutral ​assessment of workplace complaints.


Alongside Shane’s civilian legal career, Shane serves as a judge ​advocate in the US Army Reserve, providing legal representation ​and counseling for soldiers and commanders in the military.
