Esther Lander, a veteran of the Department of Justice, has joined the prestigious law firm Orrick, headquartered in Washington D.C., according to an announcement made by the firm on
Wednesday.
Prior to her move to Orrick, Lander was a part of Akin and held the role of principal deputy chief of the Employment Litigation Section within the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. As reported by Orrick, Lander has a strong background in handling complex and high-profile employment discrimination claims as well as deftly navigating high-stakes government investigations.
The addition of such an experienced individual to the employment practice at Orrick is likely to be highly beneficial. Lander’s extensive experience in handling complex litigation, combined with her insights from her tenure at the Justice Department, could offer a distinct advantage to her clients and to the firm as a whole.
Given her strong track record, it is reasonable to expect that Lander’s expertise will contribute significantly to Orrick’s clientele, aiding in particularly complex and pressing employment-related matters. Her extensive experience with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, in particular, is likely to be instrumental in enhancing the firm’s already robust capabilities in handling employment litigation issues.
