The firm’s experienced trial and appellate lawyers handle matters in state and federal courts, arbitrations and administrative proceedings, guiding clients from early risk assessment and negotiated resolution through trial and appeal.
The firm further strengthened its litigation capabilities earlier this year through the expansion of its Labor & Employment practice. The expanded team advises employers on workplace compliance and day-to-day personnel matters while also representing them in employment litigation, agency proceedings and other workforce disputes.
Lawdragon selects honorees through a combination of submissions, independent research and input from editorial advisers. The team considers recent matters, litigation experience, peer recognition and leadership within the profession.
