About SG Law

Counsel that sees the whole person.

A workplace issue is never just a legal issue. It touches the life you are trying to build.

Zanah Ghalawanji

SG Law makes employment and civil-rights counsel more personal, more understandable, and more firmly rooted in the needs of the people asking for help.

Zanah's practice centers individuals navigating workplace discrimination, retaliation, wage disputes, termination, accommodations, and difficult employment decisions. She has represented clients before federal and state employment agencies since 2018, has appeared in federal courts across the country, and also advises small businesses and nonprofits on building fair, compliant workplaces.

Clients can expect an honest assessment, thoughtful preparation, and a respectful conversation about what matters most to them. No jargon for its own sake. No pressure to choose a path that does not fit.

What guides us

Clarity is a form of care.

You deserve to know what the law can and cannot do for you. We make room for the hard questions and give advice you can use.

01
Respect without judgment

Your concerns are worth taking seriously, whatever brought you here.

02
Direct, careful advice

We tell you what we see, why it matters, and where uncertainty remains.

03
Steady partnership

We work with you, not around you, at every meaningful decision point.

Our approach

Negotiation, mediation, or litigation.

No employee should have to choose between their livelihood and their dignity. Whether a matter calls for a well-timed letter, an agency charge, a negotiated settlement, or a lawsuit, we focus on effective solutions and strong advocacy tailored to each client's goals.
