IRVINE, Calif. (July 20, 2016) – Shareholder Heather Peck of Littler, the world’s largest employment and labor law practice representing management, has been recognized among the “Top 50 Women Lawyers” by the National Diversity Council.

“Heather is an excellent example of the caliber of attorneys we have at the firm, who are committed to advancing diversity and inclusion at Littler and the overall community,” said Jon Miller, Irvine office managing shareholder. “On behalf of the firm, we congratulate Heather on this well-deserved recognition.”

To be considered, attorneys must be a leader and role model within the organization and profession, contribute to the direction and growth of the organization, and be a recognized leader in their field of expertise. In addition, they must operate with high integrity and ethics, as well as be an active corporate citizen.

Based in the firm’s Irvine office, Peck specializes in labor and employment law. Her experience involves matters regarding privacy and data protection, traditional labor, discrimination and harassment, wage and hour and wrongful termination. She is currently the co-chair of Littler’s Reunion affinity group and a liaison for the firm’s Women’s Leadership Initiative.
