As a member of the Littler onDemand team based in Idaho, David A. Dixon serves as the primary point of contact for Littler onDemand clients, ensuring their workplace legal issues are promptly addressed. Dave brings more than 20 years of labor and employment litigation, advice and counsel experience to his role with Littler.

In his work with Littler onDemand clients, Dave acquires a deep understanding of their business needs and goals, and of their workplace cultures, guidelines, protocols, and resources, enabling him to provide highly efficient, relevant advice and counsel. Dave frequently collaborates with Littler attorneys who bring industry-leading subject matter and jurisdictional knowledge to provide quick and substantive answers to client inquiries. He also leverages Littler’s technology-based tools to access client information and optimize advice and counsel delivered through the Littler onDemand platform.

Prior to joining Littler, Dave’s legal practice focused exclusively on counseling and defending management in the full range of labor and employment matters, including a broad spectrum of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful termination and other employment litigation, numerous wage and hour class actions, reductions in force, workplace violence, traditional labor law, harassment prevention and other management training, and frequent day-to-day employer counseling. He has represented employers in a wide variety of administrative settings including defending a large number of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and analogous state agency claims, labor arbitrations, Department of Labor (DOL) Wage and Hour Division claims and audits, unemployment claims, OSHA and Cal-OSHA matters, and other administrative matters.

He was active in the Kern County Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Kern County Bar Association, holding numerous leadership positions in both.

Dave firmly believes in reducing risk through management education. He has served as an adjunct professor or guest lecturer for several large educational institutions in California, Colorado and Wisconsin. He co-authored the 1st and 2nd Editions of SHRM’s California Learning System™ and has delivered more than 70 public presentations on a wide range of employment law topics.

During law school, he was vice president and 2L class representative of the Duke Bar Association, co-director of Public Hearing, an a cappella group, and a member of the Duke Chapel Vespers Chamber Choir.
