The Los Angeles Times recognized Samantha Hardy among its inaugural list of “Consumer Goods Visionaries.” The list recognizes the lawyers, bankers, marketers and strategic advisors whose expertise fuel Southern California’s consumer economy.
Hardy, a leader of Sheppard’s Retail, Fashion and Beauty Industry team, advises retailers, including Lovesac, Hot Topic and Ralph Lauren on labor and employment matters. She defends these clients in high-stakes class, PAGA representative and FLSA collective actions, along with discrimination, harassment and wrongful termination claims.
She also handles transactional work including employment due diligence for mergers and acquisitions, and she recently guided Chobani through the sweeping transition of its retail stores and more than 900 employees.
