SAN DIEGO, CA (September 1, 2022) Nationwide employment law firm Jackson Lewis P.C. is pleased to announce Michelle K. Meek has re-joined the firm’s San Diego office as a principal.

“We are thrilled to welcome Michelle back to the firm,” said Co-Leaders of the firm’s Litigation group Stephanie L. Adler-Paindiris and Stephanie E. Lewis, in a joint statement. “Having had the privilege of working with Michelle before, we have witnessed firsthand her exceptional lawyering skills and know that she is committed to delivering top-tier counsel to clients. Her business background combined with her legal knowledge will bring great value to both the Litigation group as well as the San Diego office.”
