In a story titled, "Akerman Lures 2 Employment Pros From Jackson Lewis," Law360 reports that Akerman has bolstered its Labor and Employment Practice Group with two elite lawyers in its New York office, Matthew Steinberg and Samantha Abeysekera, who strengthen the firm's wage and hour litigation practice. Their move closely follows the addition of two other new lawyers to the Practice Group, including Scott Bettridge in Miami and Samantha Feuer in West Palm Beach.
James Bramnick, chair of Akerman's Labor and Employment Practice Group was quoted, "With an increasingly complex legal framework affecting employers, Matt and Samantha's practice in employment law, as well as their significant litigation experience, will be of great value to our clients."
