What Sloan Sakai Yeung & Wong does

Sloan Sakai Yeung & Wong LLP is a California-based law and consulting firm founded in 2004, focused on public sector labor and employment law. The firm serves public agencies (cities, counties, special districts, joint powers authorities, transportation commissions, and higher education institutions), nonprofit organizations (including community health centers and social service providers), and a limited set of private employers, all primarily in California. Its core legal practice spans eight areas: Employment, Environmental/CEQA, Government, Investigations, Labor Relations & Collective Bargaining, Litigation, Workers Compensation Carve-Outs, and Nonprofits. The firm complements its legal services with the Management Strategies Group consulting division, which provides non-legal management consulting in HR, labor relations, risk management, public safety, financial restructuring, and organizational change management.

The firm operates from three offices in Sacramento (headquarters at 555 Capitol Mall, Suite 600), Emeryville (2200 Powell Street, Suite 450), and Santa Cruz (111 1/2 Cooper Street). It fields 50+ named attorneys and consultants, including founding partners with prior PERB General Counsel and PERB Legal Adviser roles, and was ranked in the 2026 Chambers California Spotlight Guide as a leading small-to-medium-sized firm in Labor & Employment. The firm also produces thought-leadership content including the California PERB Blog (caperb.com) and co-authored the LexisNexis treatise 'California Public Sector Labor Relations.'

Revenue is generated through billable hours for legal services and consulting fees for Management Strategies Group engagements, with pricing negotiated on a per-engagement or retainer basis. No public pricing tiers or rate cards are published. The firm does not develop or sell technology products; there is no API, SDK, or software offering. Client acquisition is driven by reputation, referrals, CALPELRA conference presence, and published thought leadership rather than productized distribution.
