Alex Spellman is an Associate Attorney with Blackstone and has been practicing Plaintiff’s side employment law exclusively since 2016, including class action wage and hour, PAGA, and individual suits including all manner of wrongful termination suits based on workplace discrimination or whistleblower retaliation.

Mr. Spellman takes an active role in all his cases from the prelitigation stages, through filing and the discovery process, to the point where either resolution is reached or the matter goes to be adjudicated, whether at trial or arbitration. Mr. Spellman has helped many clients obtain six and seven figure settlements or awards since Mr. Spellman turned his total focus to Plaintiff’s side employment litigation.

Mr. Spellman wanted to work in labor and employment for as long as he wanted to be a lawyer, and in fact, spent his third year of law school as an extern with the National Labor Relations Board, Region 31. However, soon after Mr. Spellman took the bar exam in 2007 and became a lawyer, the world fell into “The Great Recession”, and Mr. Spellman spent much of his few years as a lawyer in bankruptcy law and related consumer law and litigation. Mr. Spellman endeavors to use those financial skills he learned from Federal Bankruptcy courts over the years to better counsel clients and colleagues when necessary. A Los Angeles native, Mr. Spellman is a 2006 graduate of Loyola Law School and a 2001 graduate of University of California (B.A. American Literature and Culture, magna cum laude). Mr. Spellman is licensed to practice in all state and District courts of California.

When not working, Mr. Spellman is the proud father of twin tween-age daughters and a 1-year-old daughter. Mr. Spellman dedicates most of his free time to his wife and daughters and further exploration of Southern California and its environs.
