Keith Clouse Selected as an Employment Litigation Lawyer of the Year
Clouse Brown founding partners Keith Clouse and Alyson Brown, along with trial attorney Rachel Z. Ullrich have once again been recognized on the annual list of The Best Lawyers in America for their continued achievement in labor and employment law.
All three attorneys were selected for their work in litigation – labor and employment, while Ms. Brown and Mr. Clouse were also included for employment law – individuals and employment law – management.
Mr. Clouse was also recognized in a fourth area, labor law – management.
On top of these recognitions, Mr. Clouse received the distinction of Lawyer of the Year in Dallas/Fort Worth in both employment law – individuals and litigation – labor and employment. These honors add to his track record of peer-reviewed accolades, including multiple consecutive appearances on the Texas Super Lawyers list and longstanding recognition by Best Lawyers in America across multiple employment law categories.
“Alyson, Rachel and I are honored to have again been recognized by Best Lawyers,” said Mr. Clouse. “This is a reflection of our firm’s commitment to providing exceptional counsel and representation in employment law.”
Based on a peer-review model that has been in place since 1983, Best Lawyers compiles its lists using feedback from previously recognized attorneys.
Expanding the Team
These selections represent the depth of talent at Clouse Brown, which has recently strengthened its employment law practice with the addition of both Ms. Ullrich and skilled litigator Cheryl L. Mann.
Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, Ms. Ullrich works with employers and executives to provide practical, business-forward legal solutions to employment issues.
Ms. Mann brings substantial experience handling complex commercial legal disputes through all stages of litigation. A Super Lawyers honoree since 2021, Ms. Mann joined Mr. Clouse and Ms. Brown on this year’s Super Lawyers list.
