Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB UK) 4 July 2014
Taylor English Duma LLP is pleased to announce that Glianny Fagundo has been named to Lawyers of Color’s Second Annual Hot List. The list recognizes early- to mid-career minority attorneys working as in-house counsel, government attorneys and law firm associates and partners. Honorees will be profiled in Lawyers of Color’s Hot List 2014 issue in July.
At Taylor English, Fagundo focuses her practice on high-stakes employment cases such as multi-party discrimination actions, collective FLSA/wage and hour suits, and restrictive covenants. She also represents clients on business-oriented matters, including contract disputes, negligence, defamation, fraud, insurance, professional liability, premises liability, and products liability.

The honorees were chosen through a two-pronged process. Research done by the selection committee involved identifying candidates through bar association publications and legal blogs. Also, nominations from mentors, peers, and colleagues were accepted. The selection committee made editorial picks of attorneys who had noteworthy accomplishments, especially those active in legal pipeline initiatives.
In addition to practicing law, Fagundo works with a number of local community and professional business and Hispanic groups to educate members on their legal rights and duties.
