ATLANTA- Ford & Harrison LLP, a national labor and employment law firm, is pleased to announce that Chicago partner James F. Hendricks, Jr., and Memphis partner Keith A. Warren have been named one of the Top 100 Labor Attorneys in the United States for 2008 by the Labor Relations Institute.
Over 8,900 attorneys were evaluated by the Labor Relations Institute in order to compile the list. Selection is determined by the number of NLRB elections in which each attorney provided representation and the outcome of those elections. Inclusion on the list puts Hendricks and Warren in the top one percent of labor attorneys in the U.S.
Jim Hendricks focuses his representation on assisting management with labor matters before the National Labor Relations Board and involving collective bargaining and arbitrations. He also defends employers in charges before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor and various state agencies. A large portion of his practice is devoted to assisting clients in maintaining a union-free atmosphere and positive employee relations programs and training. Jim has represented employers in more than 250 union organizing campaigns. He has been named among the Top 100 Labor Attorneys for three consecutive years.
Keith A. Warren has exclusively represented management in employment litigation and traditional labor law under the NLRA and RLA for more than 35 years. Nationwide, he has acted as lead counsel in more than 100 union representation cases, negotiated hundreds of union collective bargaining agreements, and handled numerous labor arbitrations and employment litigation trials. He has conducted business for clients in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
“To be included in the Top One Hundred is a tremendous honor,” said Donald P. Wilson, President of the Labor Relations Institute. “It acknowledges these attorneys’ professionalism and long-term dedication to their clients.”
