Prior to pursuing law, Benjamin attended film school and worked as a freelance filmmaker. He won several screenwriting awards and now brings that creative energy and writing experience while defending and counseling clients. He regularly drafts dispositive motions and has successfully obtained summary judgment on behalf of clients faced with allegations of wrongful discharge, discrimination, and harassment. He also presents creative solutions to clients through employment policy and contract revisions.

Benjamin’s practice further focuses on defending complex class and collective lawsuits brought against employers by their workforce and clients. He regularly manages and coordinates the mass data organization and analysis of databases involved in such cases and has successfully defeated conditional certification in numerous class actions and FLSA cases, including allegations of tip-theft, misclassification, off-the-clock work, minimum wage violations, and accusations of fiduciary breach.

An experienced speaker, Benjamin is also a frequent presenter at human resources and industry conferences and webinars. He has spoken extensively about wage and hour compliance and best practices in human resources, and he regularly presents workshops and trainings on these matters to assist employers in developing compliant and easy-to-use practices in their businesses.

Benjamin has been annually recognized by Best Lawyers in America as “One to Watch” since his first year of practice and previously won numerous awards for his legal writing and academic performance in law school. Beyond his legal work, Benjamin is passionate about the arts — serving on the board of a local art museum — and enjoys spending time and playing board games with his wife and daughter.
