Stacey Eisenstein Named an NLJ Employment Law Trailblazer

(Washington, D.C.) – Akin Gump is pleased to share that labor and employment partner Stacey Eisenstein has been named by The National Law Journal as one of its 2022 Trailblazers in Employment Law.

Following are highlights from the published profile of Ms. Eisenstein:

• “Once I joined Akin Gump, I liked the challenge of working on complex labor issues. This led me to become involved in the sports industry, primarily through the firm’s long-term client relationship with the NFL, which has led to opportunities with other professional and amateur sports organizations—including recently getting involved in employment law issues in college sports.”
• “One change I have enjoyed seeing is the growing number of women lawyers in the sports industry, including more women working for our clients, and an increased number of female associates at Akin Gump who are staffed on sports matters.”
• “[W]e are going to see major issues arise in college sports that could have a real impact on labor law, particularly surrounding the student athletes-as-employees issue; women in sports and Title IX; and NIL [name, image and likeness] issues.”
