Pittsburgh, PA – Rothman Gordon is pleased to announce Louis B. Kushner was recently selected by The Legal Intelligencer for a 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award.

Kushner’s early career focused on labor and employment law. He was a director of the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI) and often serves the organization as a course planner, author, and lecturer, most notably in the Pennsylvania Bar’s Employment Law Institute and Employment Law West. He is also a Fellow of the College of Labor and Employment Attorneys.

In the new millennium, Kushner began to practice mediation and quickly developed a reputation as someone who could achieve a settlement. Along with Robert Creo, he became one the 150 founding members from across the globe of Mediators Beyond Borders (MBB) in 2006. He and Creo lectured on mediation in war-torn Ghana and Liberia in 2008.

Outgoing and generous with his talents, Kushner has lectured, written, and made himself available to address a wide array of groups who have an interest in employment and ADR.

Mr. Kushner earned his B.S. in Accounting from Penn State and his J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. He resides in Squirrel Hill with his wife, Sandra R. Kushner, also an attorney. They have three children.
