Andrea Studley Knowles

A formidable advocate in complex employment litigation

Our company retained Andrea Studley Knowles at Fitch Law Partners to defend against a high-stakes wrongful termination and discrimination lawsuit. From our initial consultation, her deep expertise in labor and employment litigation was immediately apparent. With 27 years of experience, she masterfully navigated the intricate details of Massachusetts employment law and the specific allegations against our management team. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in this exact field was well-earned; her strategic approach during depositions and her negotiation posture were clearly informed by a long career handling these sensitive matters. Andrea is a direct and persuasive advocate who inspired confidence at every turn, leading to a highly favorable settlement that protected our company's reputation and financial interests. The only minor critique would be that communication from her support staff regarding routine administrative updates could occasionally lag, requiring a follow-up. However, when dealing directly with Andrea on substantive legal strategy, she was always thoroughly prepared and responsive. We would not hesitate to engage her counsel again for any complex employment or product liability defense needs.
