About Us

We help businesses navigate the minefield of California employment laws.

How Our Practice Was Built.

Since 2013, Fairgrieve Law Office has been dedicated to supporting California employers, providing knowledgeable guidance and strong, strategic advocacy to protect their interests and strengthen their businesses.

Founded by Rose-Ellen Fairgrieve as a solo-preneur, Fairgrieve Law Office began with a clear vision: to make a meaningful impact in the legal landscape. Born and raised in San Francisco, Rose-Ellen understood the importance of serving not only the Bay Area but employers throughout California—and over time, she has done exactly that, continuing to expand the firm’s reach and reputation across the state.

Today, Fairgrieve Law Office stands on a strong foundation, committed to delivering a level of service that sets it apart from other firms. The firm’s strength lies not only in the attorneys’ exceptional legal expertise, but in the genuine care every team member extends to each client. Hospitality is no longer reserved for hotels and restaurants—it reflects the essence of all true service professions. And at Fairgrieve Law Office, providing outstanding legal service is both our calling and our craft.

Fairgrieve Law Team

At Fairgrieve Law Office, our attorneys combine deep legal knowledge with real-world experience to help California employers thrive. We understand the pressures of running a business and bring both practical solutions and fierce advocacy to every client relationship.

Led by Principal Attorney Rose-Ellen Fairgrieve, our attorneys have decades of experience in employment law across both public service and private practice. From representing clients in jury trials and administrative hearings, to crafting proactive workplace policies, we’ve guided businesses of all sizes through California’s most complex labor challenges.

Each member of our team brings a unique background — from HR leadership to corporate operations to hospitality — creating a well-rounded perspective that allows us to tailor solutions to each client’s industry and culture. We pride ourselves on being approachable, responsive, and clear in every step of the process.

More than just attorneys, we are trusted partners who value long-term relationships. Our goal is to protect your business, prevent disputes before they arise, and give you confidence in navigating California’s ever-changing employment landscape.
