We’re delighted to announce this year’s Lawdragon 500 Leading Corporate Employment Lawyers guide.
The guide is our 16th honoring the nation’s top advisors to businesses, universities, nonprofits and other organizations dealing with the mind-bending matrix of today’s global workforce.
The list honors more than 200 attorneys who specialize in employment litigation, defending discrimination, ERISA, wage and hour and other claims. Also included are 75 immigration specialists and a similar number of employee benefits and executive compensation gurus.
As always we appreciate your numerous submissions, which we consider alongside our independent research and assessments shared by clients and peers of the attorneys considered. You can view our methodology here.
This year’s guide is 43 percent women and 23 percent inclusive. Included are 76 members of the Lawdragon Hall of Fame, who are denoted by an asterisk.
