2013 Guide to World-Class Employment Lawyers
By Lawdragon News | June 13, 2013 | Guides
Lawdragon is proud to present The Guide to World-Class Employment Lawyers, the result of hundreds of law firm submissions and editorial research conducted over the past year. This is the sixth annual guide to leading employment lawyers we have produced in partnership with Human Resource Executive (HRE) magazine.
In addition to the 100 Most Powerful Employment Lawyers below, you can also view the Top 20 in Employee Benefits; the Top 20 in Traditional Labor & Employment Law; the Top 20 in Immigration; 40 Up and Comers in the field; and, for the first time, a Hall of Fame list.
You can also read HRE's coverage accompanying the lists.
