Joan Fife Named a 2019 Employment Trailblazer by the NLJ

Winston & Strawn Partner Joan Fife is recognized as a 2019 Employment Trailblazer by the National Law Journal. This inaugural list profiles attorneys who are agents of change in the Employment landscape.

The publication recognizes Joan as a trailblazer for her experience in wage and hour cases and analyzing exposure in a case in its early stages, which was different from most lawyers. “I was one of the first to apply a quantitative approach at the conditional certification stage, which allows the client at the very beginning to decide what its position is and stick with it,” Joan said. 

As for the future of employment law Joan believes the courts in California are key for the rest of the nation. “California judges are more careful of their opinions, and there is a tremendous level of expertise in the judiciary.”
