Lawyer Rankings
United States > Labor and employment > Labor and employment disputes (including collective actions)
Praised for its ‘first-rate employment practice’, McDermott Will & Emery LLP is highly regarded for its work prosecuting and defending unfair competition and restrictive covenant litigation involving the disclosure of trade secrets, employee raiding and breaches of fiduciary duty. The duo jointly leading the practice is formed of Rachel Cowen in Chicago and Maria Rodriguez in Los Angeles. Cowen is well known for handling sensitive internal investigations for companies and healthcare providers regarding allegations of sexual harassment. Rodriguez’s clients largely come from the media, entertainment and sports industries. Boston’s Jim Nicholas is a name to note for his experience handling wage and hour class actions under the FLSA, claims of discrimination and harassment.
