In her International Employment Lawyer profile, Maechtlen said: I became passionate about employment law while in law school – it was the first class that resonated with my prior experience in people management and asset protection in the retail industry, as well as having a human element to the problems at hand. I am also excited to practice in a space that is constantly evolving in substantive developments.
In Maechtlen's profile, IEL said: Employers across the country value Laura's broad knowledge of legally defensible and practical solutions for achieving diversity and inclusion objectives. She provides counsel and advice on diversity and inclusion best practices, metrics, progress management, and change management.
