A seasoned and strategic advocate in employment law

I engaged Kerry Alan Scanlon at McDermott Will & Schulte for a complex wrongful termination matter. His nearly five decades of experience were immediately apparent. He possesses a deep, strategic understanding of labor and employment litigation that goes far beyond just knowing the statutes. Kerry was able to anticipate the other side's moves and craft a defense that was both robust and pragmatic. His recognition by Best Lawyers in this specific field is well-deserved. He guided me through a stressful process with clarity, explaining the nuances of my case without resorting to legal jargon. The outcome was favorable and exactly what we had strategically aimed for. If I had one note, it would be that his schedule is understandably demanding, which occasionally led to a slight delay in email responses, though his associate was always available. For high-stakes employment disputes in D.C., Kerry Scanlon's expertise is invaluable.
