McDermott Will & Schulte

Praised for its ‘first-rate employment practice’, McDermott Will & Schulte 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 practice is led by Maria Rodriguez in Los Angeles. 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. Rachel Cowen has left the firm.
