Exceptional guidance through a complex workplace investigation

I was referred to Shannon McDermott at Perkins Coie after a difficult internal investigation at my company. Despite her relatively recent graduation from Vanderbilt Law, her knowledge of employment law was immediately evident and deeply impressive. She expertly navigated the dual perspectives inherent in her recognition for both Employee and Management-side work, which gave her a uniquely balanced and strategic view of my situation. Shannon was meticulous in preparing me for every meeting, explaining the nuances of Washington state law with clarity, and her professionalism under pressure was remarkable. The outcome was a fair and favorable resolution that protected my career. Her recognition by Best Lawyers is clearly well-deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone facing sensitive employment matters.
