Ford & Harrison LLP, a national labor and employment law firm, is pleased to announce that Atlanta-based partner Patricia G. Grifffith has recently been named to Georgia Trend magazine's "Legal Elite" list for 2011.
The selection process was rigorous. It began with notifying and inviting members of the Georgia Bar to name attorneys they hold in the highest regard or would recommend to others. The ballots were processed, checked and tabulated and the list of top vote-getters was further examined using membership status and practice histories provided by the Georgia Bar.
Patricia Griffith concentrates her practice on employment litigation, including individual and class action discrimination and harassment cases, employment contracts, trade secrets, and other employment-related actions. She tries cases in federal and state courts and before administrative agencies. Patricia has had substantial jury and class certification experience and defended numerous class action cases. She is adept at mediating disputes, reducing the likelihood of protracted litigation, and has served as an arbitrator for the State Bar of Georgia. She received her J.D. from the University of Georgia School of Law, with honors, in 1982.
