Chicago Office Ranked #1 for "National Labor and Employment Practice" in Chambers USA

According to the 2007 edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business, “The firm’s meteoric rise in Chicago is due in no small measure to intelligent and dynamic lateral hiring. Competitors acknowledge the presence of this ‘impressive team’ that has figured in many of the largest negotiations and employment discrimination cases this year. Clients were equally complimentary, highlighting the team’s national reputation: ‘It has a great name in labor and employment across the whole country.’ This talented team represents clients in collective bargaining, work stoppage issues, labor arbitrations, and union organizing campaigns, appearing frequently before the NLRB. Activity in complex class action employment litigation continues largely unabated and the team is regularly called upon to defend plaintiff actions. The firm’s lawyers have been busy litigating class actions in the areas of wage and hour, age discrimination, ERISA, and the FMLA. Recent highlights include acting for BellSouth in a race discrimination that may set an important precedent.”
