Emily Matta is an associate with Foulston’s employment and labor law practice group in the firm’s Wichita office. She received her J.D. from the University of Kansas School of Law. Emily previously clerked with Foulston as a summer associate and served as a judicial extern for Hon. Steven Leben at the Kansas Court of Appeals, where she gained valuable insight into the appellate process.
Before she attended law school, Emily held every position from dishwasher to manager at her family’s restaurant in Wichita. She experienced first-hand the difficulties small businesses face in navigating state and federal employment laws.
Now, as an attorney, Emily guides businesses and non-profits through the complex patchwork of applicable employment laws. She advises clients on various day-to-day employment issues, including assessing legal risk before disciplinary and termination decisions. To ensure legal compliance, Emily works with in-house counsel and human resources professionals on annual updates and other revisions to employee handbooks and HR policies and procedures. She represents clients in defending against complaints of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation with administrative agencies, in unemployment appeals, and in employment-related litigation. In every aspect of her work, Emily takes pride in getting to know her clients’ businesses and unique needs so she can deliver effective, timely, and practical representation.
Emily is a Kansas history enthusiast. She has visited nearly every corner of the state and, in her spare time, is working through a list of historic sites and lesser-known roadside attractions to visit. Most recently, Emily visited the Dalton Defenders Museum in Meade, Monument Rocks in Gove County, and Little Jerusalem Badlands State Park in Logan County.
