Luna-Kleya Hernandez

Luna-Kleya Hernandez is an associate in the Orange County, California, office of Jackson Lewis P.C. Her practice focuses exclusively on employment law advice and counsel for multi-state employers. She works closely with employers to proactively manage workplace risk and develop practical, compliant employment practices across the full employee lifecycle, from hiring and onboarding to accommodations, performance management, and separation of employment.

Before focusing her practice exclusively on employment law, Luna gained valuable experience in corporate and M&A work. That background gives her a strong understanding of how employment issues impact broader business goals, deal timelines, and operational realities. She brings that perspective into her counsel, offering guidance that is not only legally sound but aligned with a client’s strategic and organizational priorities. 

Her work includes reviewing and updating employee handbooks, advising on leaves and accommodations, counseling on sensitive performance and disciplinary issues, and guiding employers through high-risk terminations. She also partners with HR teams and business leaders to address everyday employment questions, design practical onboarding processes, and support consistent compliance practices across multiple states. Known for her practical, actionable advice, Luna aims to help clients make confident decisions that balance legal compliance with business objectives.

On the weekends, Luna enjoys trail running with her husband, and spending time with her rambunctious toddler son.
