Posted on April 25, 2014

Super Lawyers: The Employment Law GroupSuper Lawyers named six attorneys from The Employment Law Group® law firm to its 2014 roster of outstanding lawyers. That’s half of the firm’s attorneys — including, for the second year running, all of its principal attorneys.

Super Lawyers is an independent rating service that honors lawyers “who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.” Its rigorous process includes review by a blue-ribbon panel of attorneys in each practice area.

Super Lawyers recognizes no more than five percent of practicing lawyers each year.

On its honor roll for 2014 are:

  • R. Scott Oswald (Managing Principal). Mr. Oswald has brought nearly 50 trials to verdict and has recovered more than $90 million in judgments and settlements for his clients. A Top 100 Trial Lawyer, he is the immediate past president of the Metropolitan Washington Employment Lawyers Association.
  • Adam Augustine Carter (Principal). A seasoned courtroom attorney, negotiator, and problem solver, Mr. Carter speaks frequently on legal strategy before groups such as the National Employment Lawyers Association.
  • Nicholas Woodfield (Principal). Mr. Woodfield has tried more than 50 trials, recovering millions of dollars for his clients; Washingtonian magazine recently named him to its Top Lawyers list. He is president of the Virginia Employment Lawyers Association.
  • David Scher (Principal). A specialist in qui tam, whistleblower, and discrimination claims, Mr. Scher has won important victories including a $57 million False Claims Act settlement. He appears frequently in the national media as an expert on employment law.
  • J. Thomas (Tom) Harrington (Principal). Mr. Harrington recently became a principal at the firm; Super Lawyers named him as a 2014 “Rising Star” — its designation for the best up-and-coming lawyers. He works with clients who suffer workplace discrimination and retaliation.
