Jones Day, whose lawyers continue to make headlines for their work on behalf of the Trump administration, has hired a pair of partners to bolster its labor and employment bench in Los Angeles and Minneapolis.

Amanda Sommerfeld joined Jones Day's Los Angeles office from Winston & Strawn earlier this year, while Dorsey & Whitney partner Joseph Hammell has come aboard in Minneapolis, where Jones Day opened an office last summer.

Sommerfeld led the defense trial team in Garvey v. Kmart Corp., a class action suit against the big-box retailer over its alleged failure to provide seating for its cashiers. The case ended at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit with Kmart agreeing to pay a $280,000 settlement.
