Devin K. Epp

Devin Kathleen Epp focuses her practice on employment litigation matters, including wage and hour, employment discrimination, whistleblower, wrongful termination, retaliation and complex litigation. In her first year of practice, as co-counsel in a whistleblower and employment retaliation case in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, she tried and won her first case, which made the Top 100 Verdicts in Employment & Labor in the United States in 2023, ranking #51. It also ranked #18 in the Top 20 Verdicts in Washington State in 2023. Since then, she has tried and settled several cases and continues to represent employees and employers on all types of employment matters. 

Her experience encompasses multistate employment law, high-stakes disputes, and translating statutory frameworks into actionable legal strategy. Having represented both employees and employers in litigation, she has experience in counseling employers and small businesses on best practices to avoid litigation as well as conduct workplace investigations and advise employers on other employee-related matters. She also has a Title IX Investigator Certification, which has helped her in conducting employment investigations.
