Top 100 Labor & Employment Settlements in the United States in 2018
We are pleased to present to you the list of top 100 labor & employment settlements obtained in the United States in the year 2018. The list is comprised of cases filed either in a state or federal court, and those settled prior to commencing a lawsuit. It does, however, exclude cases settled for an undisclosed amount.
For firms that have made the list and would like to signify their achievement on their website or in other marketing materials, TopVerdict.com has issued a special electronic badge that is available for purchase here.
If you are the attorney who has obtained or helped obtain one of the 100 settlements on this list, you can display a separate, personalized badge on your bio page to showcase your high professional achievement and potentially generate more business for your firm. You can buy your personalized attorney badge here. You can also obtain a personalized plaque to display in your office.
