Oregon Employment Law
Oregon provides strong legal protections for workers through a combination of state employment laws and federal labor protections. Many of these laws are designed to ensure employees are treated fairly in the workplace and are protected from discrimination, retaliation, wage theft, and other unlawful practices.
At Crosner Legal, our attorneys are experienced in navigating the complexities of Oregon’s employment statutes, including laws enforced by the Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries (BOLI). We represent employees across the state in disputes against employers of all sizes, from small businesses to large corporations.
Oregon employment law includes several important worker protections, including:
-
Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 659A, which prohibits workplace discrimination, harassment, and retaliation
-
The Oregon Equal Pay Act (ORS 652.220), which requires equal pay for comparable work regardless of protected characteristics
-
Oregon wage and hour laws (ORS Chapter 653) governing minimum wage, overtime, and wage payment requirements
-
Oregon whistleblower protections (ORS 659A.199–659A.224) protecting employees who report unlawful activity
-
State sick leave protections under ORS 653.601–653.661
These laws often provide broader protections than federal law, allowing employees to pursue claims through administrative complaints, civil litigation, or class actions depending on the circumstances.
Our Oregon employment lawyers assist workers facing issues such as wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, unpaid wages, and other workplace violations. We help clients understand their legal rights, investigate employer misconduct, and pursue appropriate legal remedies when employers violate the law.

Oregon Consumer & Privacy Rights
Oregon law provides important protections for consumers against deceptive business practices, privacy violations, and unauthorized commercial activity. State statutes give individuals the ability to pursue legal claims against companies that engage in unlawful conduct. At Crosner Legal, we actively litigate cases involving Oregon consumer protection and privacy laws on behalf of individuals and class members harmed by unlawful corporate practices.
Digital Privacy & Anti-Spam (CEMA)
We pursue claims against companies that send unsolicited commercial emails, spam messages, or unlawful telemarketing communications, or misuse consumer data. Individuals whose digital privacy rights have been violated may be entitled to statutory damages and other remedies under state and federal law.
Oregon Publicity Rights
We protect individuals whose name, likeness, voice, photograph, or identity has been used for commercial purposes without permission. Unauthorized commercial use of a person’s identity may give rise to legal claims under privacy and publicity rights principles.
Consumer Fraud & Deceptive Practices
We utilize the Oregon Unlawful Trade Practices Act to pursue claims against companies that engage in unfair or deceptive conduct, including hidden fees, misleading advertising, fraudulent business practices, and data breaches caused by negligent security. Consumers harmed by these practices may be entitled to compensation and other legal remedies under Oregon law.
