Alex Polishuk advises employers and business leaders on high-stakes workforce issues, enterprise risk and sensitive employment disputes that can materially impact operations, leadership teams and company reputation. He works closely with executives, founders, in-house counsel, and HR leadership to navigate complex employment challenges, manage litigation exposure and develop practical strategies aligned with business objectives.

Alex represents employers in high-exposure employment disputes, including class and PAGA representative actions, executive and workforce disputes, restrictive covenant and trade secret matters and claims involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination. He is particularly experienced in matters involving the protection of confidential information, business-critical personnel transitions and emergency disputes requiring immediate strategic action.

Known for his pragmatic and business-focused approach, Alex helps clients resolve disputes efficiently while minimizing operational disruption and reputational risk. Although fully prepared to litigate matters through trial or arbitration, he frequently positions cases for early and favorable resolution through strategic case positioning and disciplined risk management.

In addition to litigation, Alex serves as a proactive advisor to employers seeking to strengthen workforce management practices and reduce enterprise risk before disputes arise. He counsels leadership teams on workplace investigations, employee discipline and separations, accommodation and compliance issues, leadership counseling and workforce management initiatives and the development of policies and practices designed to support organizational objectives while mitigating legal exposure.

Alex also works closely with Polsinelli’s Privacy Sector to advise clients on cybersecurity obligations relating to workforce data and electronic records, including matters arising under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), California Computer Data Access and Fraud Act (CDAFA) and related laws governing data privacy.
