SAN FRANCISCO, CA (August 15, 2013) – Best Lawyers in America®, one of the oldest and most authoritative peer-review guides in the legal industry, has named more than 150 attorneys from Littler Mendelson, P.C. (Littler), the world’s largest employment and labor law firm representing management, to its 2014 edition. Attorneys throughout the firm’s 55 U.S. offices were ranked by clients and industry peers among the best in the area of employment and labor law.
