Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-plaintiff wrongful termination lawsuit that threatened significant financial and reputational damage. From our initial consultation, Rick Sutherland demonstrated a command of employment law that was immediately reassuring. His analysis was not just legally sound but strategically sharp, focusing on the specific management decisions we had documented. Rick’s recognition in Best Lawyers for Employment and Labor Law Management was evident in every step. He meticulously prepared our leadership team for depositions, transforming complex legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance. His approach was both assertive and pragmatic, consistently aiming for the most efficient resolution without sacrificing our strong defensive position. The 2023 'Lawyer of the Year' accolade for Labor and Employment Litigation in Salt Lake City is clearly well-deserved. Rick’s four years of focused experience at Jackson Lewis PC, combined with his deep Utah roots from his University of Utah J.D., meant he understood both the legal landscape and the local business environment perfectly. Ultimately, his skillful negotiation led to a highly favorable settlement for our company before trial, saving us immense cost and distraction. Rick is more than an attorney; he is a true counselor who protects your business.
