We’re proud to publish the 2019 Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Employment Lawyers – a stellar collection of lawyers from coast to coast who have dedicated their careers to protecting workers and unions.
We selected the lawyers in our 2nd annual Plaintiff Employment 500 through submissions, research and journalistic vetting. Reviewing the work of thousands of lawyers who work for workers is particularly inspiring. Wayne Outten, who founded the nation’s preeminent plaintiffs' employment firm, Outten & Golden, said recently that he’s proud of the work his firm does, while providing a fair and decent living for its lawyers and staff members.
Kelly Dermody of San Francisco’s Lieff Cabraser represents the passion these lawyers bring to the underdog each and every day. She is a leading #MeToo advocate and has handled numerous discrimination lawsuits on behalf of women and minorities against high-tech and large financial companies. She led the litigation brought by 64,000 technology employees against Apple, Google and other tech companies that restricted their employees’ mobility.
