Human Resource Executive recognizes MS&K’s William Cole and Adam Levin on prestigious list compiled by editorial staff of Lawdragon

Two partners from the Los Angeles-based law firm Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp (MS&K) (Los Angeles, California, USA) have been selected for the fourth edition of the “Nation’s Most Powerful Employment Lawyers,” which was published today by Human Resource Executive.

William Cole was named to the list of the “100 Most Powerful Employment Attorneys” and the firm’s Adam Levin was named to the list of “40 Up & Comer Employment Attorneys” in the magazine.

Since 2007, Human Resource Executive has been publishing an annual guide to employment lawyers in collaboration with the editorial staff of Lawdragon, a leading legal media company. This year’s list features 200 lawyers, including the 100 leading corporate-side lawyers and 20 specialists each in related practice areas. The 2011 edition has added a new category – 40 Up & Comers – consisting of accomplished employment and labor lawyers most likely to take their place on the top 100 or one of the top specialists’ lists in the years ahead.

“We’re very proud of Bill and Adam for their recognition on this prestigious list, but especially for the outstanding work they do every day on behalf of our clients,” said MS&K Managing Partner Thomas Lambert.

Lawdragon and Human Resource Executive started looking for this year’s candidates more than seven months ago. More than 75,000 magazine subscribers were emailed, along with 300,000 members of Lawdragon’s database, seeking nominations for the 2011 guide. More than 5,000 nominations were submitted for consideration.
