Andrew T. Williamson

Knowledgeable and effective counsel for a complex workplace investigation

Our company recently faced a sensitive internal investigation involving allegations of harassment and potential retaliation. The situation was fraught with legal risk and required a nuanced understanding of both employment law and litigation strategy. We engaged Andrew Williamson at Kilpatrick Townsend based on his firm's reputation and his specific recognition in Labor and Employment Law - Management. From our first consultation, Andrew demonstrated a clear grasp of the procedural complexities. His advice on navigating the investigation process was pragmatic and helped us avoid several potential missteps that could have escalated the matter. While his billing rates are consistent with a top-tier firm, which is something to budget for, the value was evident in the outcome. He prepared our management team thoroughly for interviews and helped us implement corrective actions that were both fair and defensible. The matter was resolved internally without escalating to a formal claim, which was our primary goal. Andrew's recognition by Best Lawyers in this specific field is well-deserved; his analysis is sharp and his guidance is rooted in practical experience. My only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, response times on non-urgent emails could occasionally stretch to a full business day. Overall, Andrew provided exactly the kind of strategic, calm counsel we needed during a difficult situation.
