“We are incredibly excited and fortunate to have Esther join us,” said Erin Connell, co-chair of Orrick’s EEO and OFCCP compliance practice and pay equity task force. “Our clients are operating in an environment of heightened government enforcement and increased regulation, particularly in tech, financial services and life sciences. Esther brings extraordinary expertise counseling sophisticated companies with practical, actionable advice involving complex, nuanced issues, and has a proven track record of bringing matters to successful resolution with government regulators and enforcement agencies. We could not have a better leader for our employment practice in Washington.”
Added Esther: “I’m thrilled to be joining one of the most accomplished employment practices in the country. I look forward to collaborating with Erin and the rest of the Orrick team to help position our clients for success as they navigate an increasingly complex regulatory and enforcement environment. I’m also excited to be able to continue to collaborate with Anastasia to address these challenges for our clients.”
Orrick’s employment team has been recognized four times as a Law360 Practice Group of the Year, prevailing in high-profile employment matters for Oracle, Microsoft, Twitter, Kleiner Perkins and other major clients.
Esther is the firm’s 36th hire inside the Beltway over the past two years, including through its combination with top financial regulatory and enforcement firm Buckley.
