NEW YORK, June 7, 2024 – Proskauer, a leading international law firm, is pleased to announce that partner Nigel Telman has been named a 2024 BTI Client Service All-Star. Nigel was recognized for his outstanding client relationships, providing knowledge, strategic insight and immediate assistance.
Nigel serves as managing partner of the Firm’s Chicago office as well as co-head of the Labor Department’s national Employment Litigation & Arbitration Practice Group and leads the Firm’s Employment practice in Chicago. Nigel’s practice focuses on litigating single and class action disputes that arise out of claims of workplace harassment and employment discrimination and he also advises clients on “bet the company” employment-related claims that often involve significant reputational risk.
“I make it my business to develop a clear understanding of my clients’ culture and business, and then I leverage my personal and professional experiences so that I can be a real thought partner in developing solutions unique to their goals and long-term business objectives,” said Nigel. “I understand the significant pressures placed on in-house counsel so I try to anticipate their needs and provide answers proactively to help them see around corners. My goal is to make every interaction value add, seamless and enjoyable,” said Nigel.
The nation’s leading organizations turn to Nigel to handle their most sensitive and challenging matters. He serves as a strategic advisor to boards and C-suite executives and has represented clients in a range of industries before state and federal courts throughout the country, before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, administrative agencies and the American Arbitration Association. Clients praise him for being “business-savvy and delivering stellar results.”
