Judy Langevin has brought her extensive employment law practice to Nilan Johnson Lewis as senior counsel.
Langevin collaborated with NJL in co-counsel roles for several years while running her own firm. She moved to NJL in June after former Langevin Lentz LLC partner Chuck Lentz retired.
NJL’s practice areas and other resources complement what she offers employment law clients, Langevin said. She also appreciates that it’s one of the largest women-owned firms in the country.
In addition to deepening her collaboration with NJL members, Langevin looks forward to mentoring less-senior lawyers.
Langevin began her career in public service with the St. Paul and state human rights departments. She since has had her own firm or been partner in larger firms.
