Litigation

Anthony Risucci is a litigator and counselor primarily focusing on cutting-edge labor and employment issues facing California employers.

Anthony has successfully defended private companies, non-profits, and public agencies against a wide array of employment claims, including discrimination and harassment, whistleblower retaliation, wage and hour class actions, joint employer liability, and constitutional claims, among others. He has also drafted several appellate briefs in California Courts of Appeal, the Supreme Court of California, and the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit, primarily on employment law issues.

Anthony’s practice includes traditional labor law. He is currently representing a San Francisco non-profit through negotiation of its first collective bargaining agreement. He also advises clients on labor relations issues and provides frontline supervisor trainings to reduce the risk that employers face unfair labor practice charges under the NLRA.

His past pro bono work includes drafting an amicus brief in the Supreme Court of West Virginia in support of the ACLU’s challenge to an abortion ban in the state. He is also the alumni coach for the University of San Francisco School of Law’s Wagner Moot Court competition team—the preeminent labor and employment law moot court competition.

Anthony serves on the Executive Committee of the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Barristers Labor and Employment Law Section.

Anthony earned his J.D., magna cum laude, from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 2017, where he received the Academic Excellence Award for his graduating class. He served as an Executive Board Articles Editor for the USF Law Review and received a Public Interest Law Certificate. He earned his B.A. in Politics, summa cum laude, from the University of San Francisco in 2013.

During law school, Anthony externed at the Supreme Court of California in the Chambers of Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye and in the Pro Se Department of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
