We’re thrilled to introduce the newest addition to our acclaimed 500 series – the Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Employment Lawyers.
At Lawdragon, we could not think of a more timely guide than one that is helpful to workers. Our jobs are so much more than what we do to get by. They are an expression of our skills, a meal on the table and maybe a better school for our kids; a recognition of years of training, experience or the ambition of someone new to the workforce. And yet our work lives are tenuous – stress-filled, uncertain and sometimes unfair. The #MeToo era has illuminated anew workplace abuses, but trust us, they are always there, percolating below individual ambitions and dreams.
We’ve researched this guide for the past two years as we published our directory to the lawyers who represent employers. The plaintiff employment firms are led by Outten & Golden, which claims 17 slots on this year’s inaugural guide – thanks in part to a nationwide expansion over the past few years. Regional warriors for individuals are included, alongside noted trial lawyers who’ve won big for plaintiffs who’ve been discriminated against. Represented, too, are those who represent union members and insure fair compensation and benefits.
The 500 were chosen in our research-driven, journalistic process that vets the views of peers and competitors, and recognizes those who are winning big for workers just 10 or so years into practice, alongside an esteemed lawyer or two who’ve been fighting the battle for more than 50 years.
We are very proud of the new 500 and hope it will provide a resource for workers to stand up for what they do for all of us every day.
