Happy Holidays! As we close out 2025, I’m reflecting on an incredible year at Zaller Law Group. This year brought both challenges and opportunities for California employers—from navigating new 2026 legislation to managing the ongoing wave of PAGA litigation, to embracing AI tools that are transforming how businesses operate.
Despite the complexity of California’s regulatory environment, our team at ZLG remained committed to one mission: educating, convening, and supporting California employers through every twist and turn. Here’s a look back at how we showed up for you in 2025:
1. 14 Masterclasses with Over 3,000 Participants
In 2025, we expanded our educational programming significantly. These sessions covered everything from PAGA reform strategies to AI compliance in hiring, giving employers actionable insights they could implement immediately. As a State Bar of California-approved multi-activity provider, many of our masterclasses were eligible for MCLE credit for attending attorneys. We also offered SHRM credit for HR professionals in attendance. If you would like to receive notice of our upcoming Masterclasses in 2026 – subscribe to our newsletter below.
2. Four Invitation-Only Employers Summit Events with 100+ Attendees
We hosted four exclusive, in-person events throughout the year at premier venues (and client locations) including Gran Blanco, TopGolf, American Beauty, and Castaway. These summits brought together over 100 California employers, CEOs, HR leaders, and in-house counsel for live education, networking, and candid discussions about the challenges facing California businesses today. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and we’re already planning our 2026 summit series.
3. Monthly Newsletter Reaching 9,000+ Subscribers
Our monthly newsletter continued to be a vital resource for staying current on California employment law updates, litigation trends, curated resources and videos, and details on upcoming events like our Employers Summit. With over 9,000 subscribers, this newsletter has become a trusted source for employers across industries who need reliable, timely information.
4. 52 Weekly Blog Posts Read by 8,000+ Subscribers
Since 2007, I’ve published weekly Friday posts offering practical guidance on California employment law developments, litigation trends, and compliance challenges employers face. This year, our blog reached 8,000+ readers who rely on these posts to stay ahead of regulatory changes and emerging legal issues. We are also proud to see many other defense attorneys subscribing to the blog—we are honored to be trusted by so many people to keep up-to-date with California employment law developments and thought leadership.

5. YouTube Channel: 3,000+ Subscribers, 88,000+ Views, 770,000+ Impressions
Our YouTube channel, “The Legal Lineup,” saw tremendous growth in 2025. We shared insights from masterclasses, live events, and interviews with industry leaders, reaching over 3,000 subscribers. The channel generated 88,000+ views and 770,000+ impressions, making it an increasingly valuable resource for California business leaders seeking accessible legal education.

And one more for 2025: New Office Space!
We’re excited to share that we relocated to our own space at 721 N Douglas Street, El Segundo, CA 90245. This move reflects our continued growth and commitment to serving California employers from a dedicated, professional environment. When looking for an office, it was an easy decision to stay in El Segundo. We are honored to be a part of the amazing business ecosystem developing here in El Segundo.
The work described above reflects the dedication of our entire team at Zaller Law Group—attorneys, paralegals, and staff who work tirelessly not only to defend employers in litigation but also to proactively educate and empower them to avoid legal pitfalls in the first place.
Thank you to our clients, partners, and community for an impactful year. Wishing everyone a prosperous and compliant 2026—we’ll see you at our next summit!
