Editorial review by AttorneyReview
A labor and employment lawyer in Philadelphia on the workers' side
Bruce M. Ludwig is a partner in the labor department of Willig, Williams & Davidson in Philadelphia and has represented unions and working individuals for more than 30 years. His profile describes work in state and federal courts and before agencies including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, on matters ranging from discrimination and civil rights to pensions, retirement, unemployment compensation and wage and hour disputes. He earned his B.A. magna cum laude from Yale and his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1976, and his profile notes that he also serves clients in the Chicago area. In our editorial view, the side of the table is the detail worth noticing. Many employment lawyers in big cities represent employers; his profile describes three decades of representing the people who work for them, including a pension-rights case for state employees argued before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and a wage and hour matter for home care workers. His profile lists recognition by Super Lawyers every year since 2005. A lawyer with this focus is typically sought by a worker who was fired, discriminated against, underpaid or denied a pension or unemployment benefits, or by a union local that needs counsel.
