Lucy Bertino

Expert guidance through a complex workplace investigation

When our company faced a sensitive internal investigation involving allegations of workplace misconduct, we needed counsel who was both legally astute and tactically discreet. Lucy Bertino at Barnes & Thornburg was recommended to us, and her service was nothing short of exceptional. Despite her relatively recent graduation from UNC Chapel Hill in 2018, her command of labor and employment law is profound. She guided our management team through every step—from preserving privilege during the initial fact-finding to advising on corrective actions that mitigated significant legal risk. Her recognition in Labor and Employment Law - Management is clearly well-earned; she anticipates challenges we hadn't even considered. Lucy’s professionalism in San Francisco’s competitive landscape is a standout. She translated complex legal concepts into clear, actionable business advice, ensuring we not only resolved the immediate issue but also strengthened our internal policies. The outcome was optimal: the matter was concluded internally, preserving our company culture and avoiding litigation. We have immense confidence in her expertise and highly recommend her for any employment-related counsel.
