Littler, the world’s largest employment and labor law practice representing management, has added Jacqueline Langland as the latest attorney to join its Phoenix office. Langland joins as an associate from Jackson Lewis and is among the office’s recent new hires, including Shareholder Laurent Badoux, who returned to the firm last week.
“We are thrilled to have Jacqueline join our growing team here in Phoenix,” said Kristy Peters and Andrea Lovell, office managing shareholders of Littler’s Phoenix office, in a joint statement. “Her strong employment litigation practice combined with her advice and counseling experience, will be a great benefit to our clients locally and nationally.”
Langland has spent the entirety of her law practice exclusively representing employers and members of management in employment and labor law. She routinely defends lawsuits and administrative charges alleging violation of federal, state and local employment laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, The Arizona Civil Rights Act, and Arizona’s Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act, among others. A significant portion of Langland’s practice is devoted to litigation prevention. She regularly provides day-to-day advice and counseling on issues like accommodations, disciplinary actions, terminations, and other employment issues. Langland guides employers through best practices in implementing policies, ensuring consistent and appropriate application, while also training members of management and employees.
Additionally, Langland served as the sole law clerk for all of the judges in Iowa’s District 8A from 2012 to 2014, and during law school, was a full-tuition Law Merit Scholarship recipient, earned a Jurisprudence Award, and served as an articles editor for the Journal of Gender, Race and Justice and as a university research assistant.
Langland earned her J.D. from the University of Iowa College of Law and her B.A. from South Dakota State University.
