Burns & Levinson is pleased to
announce attorney Ellen J. Zucker has been recognized as a “Notable
Practitioner” in the Labor & Employment: Mainly Plaintiffs Representation:
Massachusetts, by the esteemed Chambers USA 2011 Guide. The Chambers Guide
is one of the leading such guides for the legal profession, drawing its lists of
recommended counsel largely from interviews with clients at major national
companies. Chamber’s Guides include editorial comment based on market research
and quotes from client interviews.
Ms. Zucker was listed as a renowned plaintiffs’ lawyer and was described by
Chambers members and clients as “smart as a whip, very engaging and terrific on
her feet.” Ms. Zucker’s practice focuses on employment litigation and
other business litigation. She is known for work on high profile cases
involving professionals and executives. Upon hearing of the Chambers’
recognition, Ms. Zucker said: “It is a great honor to be recognized by Chambers
USA and it is gratifying to think that clients – and maybe even a few
adversaries – respect what I do as I an attorney in grappling with the
situations in which my clients find themselves and helping them either navigate
the litigation process successfully or resolve disputes in a way that achieves
their goals.”
Ms. Zucker recently celebrated a significant victory for her client. In
the case of Monteiro v. City of Cambridge, Ms. Zucker represented the plaintiff,
a former employee who prevailed at trial and on appeal on her claim of workplace
retaliation and who now, with the legal challenges behind her, stands to receive
an award of damages of about $8 million. .
Managing Partner, David Rosenblatt added, “It’s no surprise to see that
Ellen’s outstanding work is nationally recognized. She consistently delivers
amazing results for clients and should be applauded for her work and
dedication.”
