Fiona W. Ong
Fiona W. Ong – an attorney at Baltimore-based Shawe Rosenthal, LLP, one of the first law firms in the country devoted exclusively to representing management in labor and employment matters – has been recognized by Lexology as their top ”Legal Influencer” for employment in the U.S.
Lexology is widely regarded as the most comprehensive source of international legal updates, analysis, and insights. Publishing in excess of 450 legal articles daily from more than 1,100 leading law firms and service providers worldwide, Lexology instituted its “Lexology Content Marketing Awards” to recognize one individual within each practice area in each region of the world for consistently providing useful, insightful legal analysis.
“Congratulations to Fiona on her well-deserved achievement,” says Edward Costelloe, Managing Director of Lexology. “The quality of content that she produced keeps our platform the most powerful in the market.”
Lexology considers the number of reads and the LexScore of each article read, and then combines these measures of content to determine its top influencers. Lexology users can then filter recognized influencers by work area and jurisdiction, making it easier to find leading experts in each practice field.
The Lexology recognition is the latest for Ong. She previously wasnamed an Acritas Star in an independent global report that recognizes stand-out lawyers according to client nominations. She is also recognized as a top labor and employment lawyer in Maryland by Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, and was named to the 2019 list of Maryland Super Lawyers.
Ong defends employers in the areas of employment discrimination, wrongful discharge, and wage/hour regulation, both in court and before federal and state agencies. She also prepares employee handbooks and personnel policies, assists government contractors in complying with affirmative action obligations, and provides advice to managers and human resources on a wide variety of personnel matters.
“Everyone at Shawe Rosenthal is very proud of Fiona,” says the firm’s Co-Managing Partner, Stephen D. Shawe. “Herknowledge of employment law, responsiveness to client needs, and willingness to share her expertise and insights with others in our profession are a shining example for everyone at our firm and across the legal profession to emulate.”
