Ius Laboris, the premier global human resources law alliance, is pleased to welcome Littler Mendelson P.C. as its new U.S. member from October 1, 2008.
Our Members provide clients with fully-coordinated advice in all aspects of human resources law and seamless international coverage, therefore it is vital for Ius Laboris to work with the leading law firm in this specialism. With more than 750 lawyers and 45 offices across the United States, Littler Mendelson is the largest law firm exclusively devoted to representing management in employment, employee benefits, and labor law matters.
Welcoming Littler Mendelson to the Alliance, Carolyn A. Knox, Executive Director of Ius Laboris, states that “Littler’s exclusive focus on human resources law and wide network of offices enhance our ability to provide clients with the highest calibre of legal services in this crucial market. Littler’s track record for exceptional client service, both domestically and globally, fits perfectly with our Member profile. We are proud to be represented in the U.S. by this firm.”
Peter Susser, Chair of the International Employment and Labor Law Practice Group of Littler Mendelson, adds “Joining Ius Laboris substantially bolsters our ability to provide support and service to our clients with their global employment law needs. With businesses expanding operations across borders and around the world, U.S.-based companies are increasingly seeking guidance regarding laws and practices in other nations. We have been fortunate to have had opportunities to work with a number of the Alliance-member firms in recent years, and know first-hand that it is an exceptionally strong group of practitioners.”
Established in 1942, the firm has litigated, mediated and negotiated some of the most influential employment law cases and labor contracts on record. Consistently ranked as the “go-to” labor and employment law firm by Fortune 250 companies, Littler has also received top honors (or recognition) as the leader for Employment Litigation and Wage and Hour Litigation.*
