Five Rubin Rudman Attorneys Named to 2027 Lawdragon 500

The recognized group includes Labor & Employment practice co-chairs Jeffrey Dretler and Elizabeth Sullivan, alongside partners Laura Kirshenbaum, Julayne Lazar, and Christopher Wurster. Lawdragon’s selection process identifies counsel who successfully guide companies through high-stakes personnel challenges, ranging from discrimination defense to keeping clients out of court entirely.

Dretler brings over 30 years of experience to the practice, while Sullivan leverages nearly two decades of work in labor law and higher education. The team’s depth is further bolstered by Kirshenbaum’s background as a former Assistant District Attorney, Lazar’s extensive tenure across Massachusetts administrative agencies, and Wurster’s decade-long focus on complex employment litigation and corporate counseling. These attorneys maintain active roles in regional legal leadership, including the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and various bar association boards.
