PHILADELPHIA (August 2021) – Pennsylvania labor, employment and workers’ compensation law firm Willig, Williams & Davidson is proud to announce that 13 of its attorneys have been selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2022 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, one of the legal profession’s oldest and most respected peer-review publications.

The 2022 Best Lawyers include Deborah R. Willig, Stuart W. Davidson, Nancy B. G. Lassen, Ralph J. Teti, Deborah M. Lerner, Linda M. Martin, Irwin W. Aronson, Susan Bahme Blumenfeld, Laurence M. Goodman, Ryan A. Hancock, Bruce M. Ludwig, Amy L. Rosenberger, and Richard G. Poulson. Many have been named among Best Lawyers for 10 years or more.

In addition, Lerner and Martin were named Best Lawyers’ 2022 “Lawyer of the Year” in Philadelphia in their practice areas of employee benefits (ERISA) law and labor law on behalf of unions, respectively. This honor is awarded to an individual lawyer based on the overall voter feedback from their peers in their specific practice area and geographic region. Only one lawyer is selected as Lawyer of the Year for each practice area and location.

The honored attorneys were drawn from the firm’s Philadelphia and Harrisburg offices and were recognized for their work in the practice areas of employment law – individuals, labor law – union, labor and employment litigation, and employee benefits (ERISA) law.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become highly regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Since Best Lawyers is based on detailed peer-review surveys, in which more than 36,000 leading attorneys vote on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas. Since lawyers are neither required nor allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
