Whitney Edwards

A decisive and knowledgeable advocate in a complex employment dispute

Our mid-sized tech company faced a challenging wrongful termination lawsuit from a former executive. The allegations were serious and threatened significant reputational and financial damage. We were referred to Whitney Edwards at Greenberg Traurig, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first consultation, Whitney demonstrated a command of Georgia employment law that was impressive for an attorney with her tenure. Her recognition in Best Lawyers for Labor and Employment Management was immediately evident in her strategic approach. She meticulously dissected the plaintiff's claims, guided us through a thorough internal document review, and crafted a defense that was both aggressive and pragmatic. Whitney never talked down to us; she explained complex legal concepts clearly, outlining every potential risk and outcome. Her preparation was exhaustive, which allowed her to negotiate from a position of immense strength. Ultimately, she secured a settlement that was a fraction of the initial demand, protecting our company's interests completely. Beyond the excellent result, her professionalism and calm demeanor throughout a stressful period were invaluable. Whitney is a sharp, dedicated attorney who delivers exceptional client service. I would not hesitate to engage her again for any employment-related matter.
