Evelyn Gemberling

Evelyn Gemberling is an associate in the Los Angeles, California, office of Jackson Lewis P.C. Her practice focuses on employment litigation and pre‑litigation dispute resolution. Drawing on a background that spans workforce counseling, internal investigations, and administrative proceedings, Evelyn brings a practical and strategic perspective to defending employers in contentious workplace matters.

Before focusing her practice on employment litigation, Evelyn worked closely with employers on day‑to‑day workforce management and compliance issues. She advised clients on leaves of absence, performance management, separations, layoffs, and severance arrangements, and drafted the related documentation. This experience informs her litigation approach by providing a deep understanding of how employment decisions are made in real time and how those decisions are later scrutinized in adversarial proceedings.

Evelyn also has significant experience conducting internal workplace investigations involving allegations of harassment, discrimination, and wage and hour violations. Having worked on the front end of employment disputes, Evelyn is particularly attuned to identifying factual strengths and vulnerabilities early in a case and developing strategies that align with business objectives.

Clients value Evelyn’s collaborative and straightforward approach. She prioritizes understanding each client’s operations, culture, and risk tolerance, and works to provide clear, actionable guidance throughout the lifecycle of a dispute. Her goal is to help employers navigate litigation efficiently while minimizing disruption to their workforce and business.

Prior to practicing employment law, Evelyn worked in the insurance industry as a commercial claims examiner, where she investigated complex claims and managed high caseloads. This experience sharpened her analytical skills and comfort with contested factual records—skills she now applies in employment litigation.
