When our mid-sized manufacturing company in Jacksonville faced a high-stakes wrongful termination lawsuit, we turned to Lara Peppard. Her dual recognition in Employment Law - Management and Litigation - Labor and Employment was immediately evident. From our first consultation, Lara demonstrated a profound grasp of the intricate Florida employment statutes. She didn't just react to the plaintiff's claims; she proactively built a comprehensive defense strategy rooted in our documented policies and past practices. Her deep experience, honed since her graduation from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, allowed her to anticipate opposing counsel's moves and navigate the discovery process with remarkable efficiency. What truly set Lara apart was her ability to translate complex legal concepts into clear business risks for our leadership team. Her counsel was always strategic, measured, and focused on our long-term operational health. The case settled on terms highly favorable to our company, avoiding a costly and public trial. Lara and the team at Ogletree Deakins provided not just legal defense, but peace of mind. For any Florida business navigating the minefield of employment law, she is an invaluable asset.
