A Strategic and Compassionate Advocate in a Complex Employment Dispute

When our company faced a high-stakes, multi-plaintiff wrongful termination lawsuit, the situation felt overwhelming. We needed counsel who was not only a sharp litigator but also understood the nuanced landscape of Tennessee employment law. Bill Rutchow at Ogletree Deakins was precisely that. From our first consultation, his deep knowledge was evident. He didn't just recite statutes; he explained the strategic implications of every potential move, drawing clearly from his nearly decade of focused practice in labor and employment litigation. His recognition in management-side employment and labor law is well-earned and was a key factor in our decision to hire him. Bill managed the complex discovery process with meticulous attention, prepared our executives for depositions with a calm, thorough approach, and consistently provided clear, actionable advice. His professionalism never wavered, even under intense pressure from opposing counsel. Ultimately, his strategic guidance led to a highly favorable settlement that protected our company's reputation and financial interests far better than we had anticipated. Bill is more than just an attorney; he is a true partner who navigates these difficult waters with exceptional skill and genuine care for his client's outcome.
