Leading law firm Seyfarth Shaw LLP announced that Lisa J. Damon, Chair of the firm's national Labor & Employment Department, has been selected by global legal directory publisher Chambers & Partners as Employment Lawyer of the Year at the inaugural Chambers USA Women in Law Awards.
The corporate awards, which honor outstanding female professionals in the U.S. legal community, were presented on February 2 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. The short list of 11 potential honorees was a Who's-Who of the nation's leading management-side labor & employment lawyers, including prominent litigators and trial lawyers, legal scholars, and law firm leaders. Damon's candidacy was distinguished by outstanding legal results for clients, many innovations in client service, including leading the development and application of Six Sigma methodologies to the practice of law at Seyfarth, known firmwide as SeyfarthLean.
Seyfarth is perhaps the only law firm to have trained its workforce - including non-lawyer staff - in Lean Six Sigma-style techniques. Over the last several years, Damon has become a leading - and outspoken - advocate of applying Lean methodologies to the practice of law. SeyfarthLean, the firm's corporate awards-winning client service model, utilizes a mix of technology, process management and project management techniques to devise innovative client-focused solutions to the delivery of legal service. Damon has actively made Lean an integral part of her employment practice, with extraordinarily successful results.
