We are proud to announce the finalists for The American Lawyer Industry Awards, a newly revamped set of recognitions meant to honor the exceptional work that goes on across the entire legal services delivery spectrum and the increasing interconnectedness among members of that community.
The efforts demonstrated in the submissions were outstanding and gave us a new appreciation for the caliber of work and innovation happening in the legal industry. We learned so much about all of the hundreds of entrants and had to make very difficult decisions in narrowing down to our finalists. Our finalists will all be celebrated at our December 5 gala in New York, where we will also announce the overall winners in each of these categories.
The finalists are listed in alphabetical order. All of these finalists are in addition to the winners and finalists previously announced for our Litigation Departments of the Year, Litigators of the Year , The A-List, Corporate Counsel's Best Legal Departments and our Lifetime Achievement and Law Firm Distinguished Leader Awards, all of which will be celebrated at the December dinner. Look for additional announcements this week with the finalists for some of our biggest awards: Best Law Firm of the Year, Attorney of the Year and our Global Legal Awards!
Congratulations to the finalists and all those who entered for moving the profession forward!

Michael G. Bongiorno, Andrew Scott Dulberg and Elizabeth E.

The case, filed Oct. 2 in Massachusetts District Court by the Brown Law Firm on behalf of Stephen Austen, accuses certain officers and directors of misleading investors in regard to Symbotic's potential for margin growth by failing to disclose that the company was not equipped to timely deploy its systems or manage expenses through project delays. The case, assigned to U.S. District Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton, is 1:24-cv-12522, Austen v. Cohen et al.

Amy O. Bruchs and Kurt F. Ellison of Michael Best & Friedrich have entered appearances for Epic Systems Corp. in a pending employment discrimination lawsuit.

The complaint was filed Sept. 4 in Connecticut District Court by attorney Robert M. Berke on behalf of former employee George Edward Steins, who was arrested and charged with employing an unregistered home improvement salesperson. The complaint alleges that had Sunrun informed the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection that the plaintiff's employment had ended in 2017 and that he no longer held Sunrun's home improvement contractor license, he would not have been hit with charges, which were dismissed in May 2024.
