Xavier R. Sanchez

As an Assistant General Counsel at the Agricultural Labor Relations Board (ALRB), I contribute to the mission of ensuring fair labor practices and collective bargaining rights for California's agricultural workers. I have over eight years of experience in the legal field, including a 10-month stint as a Deputy Labor Commissioner at the California Department of Industrial Relations, where I enforced labor laws and resolved wage claims. I also worked as a Staff Attorney at Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance, providing free legal services to low-income clients on various civil matters. I graduated from Columbia Law School with a Juris Doctor degree in 2014, and I hold a Law License issued by the California State Bar. I have strong skills in legal writing, legal research, and litigation, and I am fluent in Spanish. I am passionate about advancing social justice and protecting the rights of vulnerable communities.
