Delivering Strategic HR Solutions Through Battle-Tested Employment Law Expertise

Renee Shiraishi brings a rare combination of frontline HR execution and sophisticated legal analysis to the complex employment challenges faced by mid-to-large enterprises. At Treaty Oak, she leverages over two decades of progressive HR leadership across manufacturing, aviation, healthcare, and technology sectors to deliver practical, implementable solutions that protect organizations while advancing business objectives.

From Military Precision to Corporate Excellence

Shiraishi’s foundation in military intelligence – where she held top-secret clearance and excelled in research and analysis – established the disciplined, detail-oriented approach that defines her today. This foundational experience in high-stakes environments where accuracy and efficiency are non-negotiable translates directly to her meticulous handling of complex employment matters and wage analysis work.

Strategic Insight from Having Sat in Your Chair

What distinguishes Shiraishi from traditional employment attorneys is her deep operational knowledge of implementing the very policies she now helps craft. With an executive trajectory that includes serving as Vice President of HR for aviation companies, CHRO for international manufacturing operations, and HR Director, she is uniquely positioned to understand the operational realities facing today’s business leaders and how to sell complex employment strategies to leadership teams and execute them across diverse organizational cultures.

Specialized Expertise in High-Stakes Employment Matters

Shiraishi’s background has given her a particular mastery over matters such as wage and hour analysis, workforce transformation, and multi-state and international operations, as well as deep sector knowledge of compliance challenges specific to heavily regulated industries like aerospace and precision manufacturing.

Research-Driven Problem Solving

Shiraishi’s approach combines her legal education – including recognition as top female law graduate and international law moot court competitor – with practical experience in HR implementation. This unique combination enables her to identify compliance risks quickly, research emerging legal trends, and develop solutions that are both legally sound and operationally feasible, getting things done efficiently without unnecessary complexity.
