Experienced counsel. A practical perspective.

Tamara Keller is an employment lawyer, workplace-investigations leader and compliance advisor with more than two decades of experience helping organizations navigate complex workplace issues and employment risk.

Before founding Strategic Employment Advisors, Tamara built and led a global corporate investigations function of more than 30 attorney-investigators across 50+ countries supporting a workforce of more than 700,000 employees. Earlier in her career, she served as primary employment counsel to a global medical-device company with approximately 11,000 employees and practiced defense-side labor and employment litigation, including discrimination, harassment and wage-and-hour matters.

That experience shaped the philosophy behind SEA: The immediate workplace problem is not always the whole problem.

Tamara helps organizations look beneath the surface, connecting individual concerns with broader workplace practices, identifying patterns and root causes, and translating those insights into practical action.

That's the idea behind Strategic Employment Advisors: a business with five employees gets the same caliber of judgment a Fortune 500 legal department would bring to the table, at a price that makes sense at that size.
