Morgan Lewis’s labor and employment practice was profiled by Law360 in recognition of its selection as a 2023 Practice Group of the Year. In the profile, practice leader Grace Speights, along with deputy leader David McManus and partners John Ring and Emily Cuneo DeSmedt, discussed the firm’s work and significant victories for clients, which included securing a contract deal with UPS and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the dismissal of a high-profile race and defamation case, in addition to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) counseling work before and after the US Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision.
Pointing to the group’s strengths, Grace said the breadth of the practice and collaboration across the firm set Morgan Lewis apart from other firms.
"I would put money on it that there is no other labor and employment practice that has a practice as broad as the practice that we have," Grace said.
