Philly Labor Lawyer Honored for Work Representing Union Laborers
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Willig, Williams & Davidson is excited to announce that the Philadelphia Business Journal has named partner Stuart W. Davidson among the 2023 Best of the Bar, an award honoring top lawyers in Philadelphia for achievements in the legal profession.
"I am humbled to be included among the esteemed attorneys in Best of the Bar," said Davidson. "Throughout my career, I have been deeply inspired by my clients, working people who support each other and risk everything to build a better future for themselves and their families. There is dignity in all work, and it is a privilege to fight for their right to be treated with the respect they deserve."
Tirelessly advocating for labor unions and the workers they represent, Davidson represents public and private benefit funds, fighting to preserve the ability of workers to retire with dignity and have access to affordable health care. His work for unions includes leading contract negotiations, presenting interest and grievance arbitrations, and advising on external and internal union matters. Davidson serves as chief counsel to large regional and local unions along the East and Gulf coasts and in the Chicago area.
He has also played key roles in the development of new and progressive benefit structures with the pension and health and welfare plans he represents. His work has supported legislation to ensure that workers have a fair opportunity to maximize the value of their labor and to achieve the American Dream. Davidson began his legal career by successfully defending the pension rights of state employees in a case that was ultimately decided by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. On the heels of that success, he has been involved in representing a wide range of union workers, including musicians, longshoremen, university faculty, firefighters, film and television casting directors, teamsters, police officers, teachers, hotel workers, correctional officers, food and commercial workers and NFL players.
Best of the Bar honorees are nominated by the public and evaluated by an independent panel of judges with extensive industry experience. The Philadelphia Business Journal plans to honor Davidson and the other selected attorneys during a program on Nov. 16, 2023, at Rivers Casino.
