San Diego, CA – July 1 – One of California’s most respected employment law firms is stepping confidently into a new era. GrahamHollis APC, renowned for its unwavering advocacy for workers and landmark legal victories, is proud to announce its transition to ARCH Legal PC, a new name reflecting the firm’s evolution, unity, and enduring mission to protect employee rights throughout the state. ARCH stands for the names of the four name shareholders Hali Michelle Anderson, Nathan Reese, Vilmarie Cordero, and firm founder Graham S.P. Hollis.

The new name honors the strength and foundation built by Graham Hollis, whose leadership remains a central force at ARCH Legal PC. Rather than a departure, this rebrand marks a bold continuation—one that reflects the firm’s growth and the formal empowerment of longtime internal leaders. In an industry where shared ownership is rare, ARCH Legal PC’s model stands out for its transparency, diversity, and collective strength.

The firm’s commitment to diversity isn’t a talking point, it’s built into its leadership. ARCH Legal PC is led by an uncommon team: a majority-diverse group of shareholders, including two women of color, who reflect the communities the firm serves. In an era when DEI efforts are being rolled back across industries, ARCH Legal PC is proudly leaning in.

“While our name has changed, our team and our commitment to our clients remains steadfast,” Graham said. “These three partners each spent years at the firm obtaining significant victories and will continue to do so in their new roles. I’m incredibly proud that ARCH Legal PC will carry our mission forward with the same passion and integrity that has defined us for decades. At a time when diversity, equity and inclusion face unprecedented challenges, we not only fight for these rights, we lead by example and embody them in everything we do.”

ARCH Legal PC’s leadership team includes some of California’s most accomplished and respected employment law litigators, all of whom have been instrumental to the firm’s growth, strategy, and success.

“This is more than just a name change,” said Hali Michelle Anderson, Shareholder and seasoned employment law litigator. “ARCH Legal PC represents a promise to ourselves, to our clients, and to our profession that we will continue to fight for those who are mistreated, underpaid, and ignored by their employers. I’m honored to help lead this next chapter and expand upon the legacy this firm has already built.”

Nathan Reese, a Shareholder known for his trial victories in class and PAGA actions, emphasized the firm’s commitment to smart, strategic advocacy. “Our clients face powerful employers with deep resources. But ARCH Legal PC brings unmatched litigation experience, trial readiness, and a team approach that levels the playing field. We’re proud to partner with Graham and continue to deliver justice to California workers.”

“From the very beginning, this firm has had a singular mission: justice for the underserved,” added Vilmarie Cordero, a Shareholder who has litigated employment class actions for over a decade. “As a Puerto Rican woman and a civil rights advocate, that mission is deeply personal to me. At ARCH Legal PC, we will keep fighting for equity, dignity, and accountability just as we always have.”

ARCH Legal PC remains headquartered in San Diego and will continue to represent workers across California and Washington in wage and hour, discrimination, and wrongful termination cases. With a trusted team of trial-ready attorneys and a proven track record, the firm is doubling down on its client-first, results-driven mission.
