Kushner Named Pittsburgh Labor and Employment Lawyer of the Year

January 6, 2010

January 6, 2010 — Louis Kushner has been named the Best Lawyers’ 2010 Pittsburgh Labor and Employment Lawyer of the Year. After more than a quarter of a century in publication, Best Lawyers is designating “Lawyers of the Year” in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Only a single lawyer in each specialty in each community is being honored as the “Lawyer of the Year.”

Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 16th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2010), is based on more than 2.8 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers.

The lawyers being honored as “Lawyers of the Year” have received particularly high ratings in the surveys by earning a high level of respect among their peers for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.

Mr. Kushner has also been active in the community, serving on a wide variety of boards, including the Pittsburgh Marathon, the United Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, PERSAD Center, Inc., the Greater Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, and Family Services of Western Pennsylvania.
