WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 21, 2025) — Based on high praise from their peers, every principal attorney at The Employment Law Group® law firm has been honored in the latest editions of The Best Lawyers in America and its Ones to Watch list.
This is the second year in which all seven TELG principals have been recognized. For R. Scott Oswald, the firm’s managing principal, and Nicholas Woodfield, TELG’s general counsel, the 2026 edition marks their 14th year being honored for their work in employment law.
Best Lawyers has published its rigorous peer rankings for more than three decades. In 2026, thousands of attorneys across the country participated in the voting process and over 31 million evaluations were analyzed. Nominees were selected based on feedback from lawyers in their practice area and region.
Only about 5% of practicing U.S. attorneys earn the title of “Best Lawyer.” TELG principal attorneys were honored as Best Lawyers in the following categories:

Ms. Chambers was recognized in the categories “Labor and Employment Law – Employee” and “Litigation – Labor and Employment.”
According to Best Lawyers, each Ones to Watch honoree “exemplifies strong discipline, reputation and professional respect, marking a key milestone early in their careers.”
