October 2, 2026

Boston and Worcester, MA – October 2, 2026 – Danielle Jurema Lederman, a Partner at Bowditch, was recently named a Leading Corporate Employment Lawyer in America in Lawdragon’s 2027 list. The annual list includes 500 attorneys from across the country who excel in company-side representation in employment and labor disputes, including wage-and-hour and discrimination and harassment claims.

Lederman joined Bowditch’s Employment Practice Area in 2021. Her practice consists of litigation, counseling, and workplace training. She represents employers in all stages of mediation, arbitration, and litigation at the administrative, state, and federal levels. She is an experienced trial attorney and has successfully litigated multiple employment matters through to summary judgment, trial, and on appeal. She also defends clients in investigations brought by state and federal agencies, including the Attorney General’s Office, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Unemployment Assistance.

“Danielle provides her clients with real-world, actionable (and, of course, expert) advice on their employment issues, frequently under tight time pressures given the often-tense nature of employment issues,” said Robert Young, Employment Practice Area Leader. “While she works with a broad range of clients across industries, Danielle always provides unique, personalized counsel to help every client achieve its desired outcome. I am proud to see Danielle named as a Leading Corporate Employment Lawyer in America – a recognition well-earned and richly-deserved.”

Alongside her practice, Danielle is an avid community volunteer, especially concerning women’s initiatives. She is Vice Chair of City Year Boston’s Women’s Leadership Breakfast and has been asked numerous times to co-chair Northeastern University School of Law’s Brown Forum for Women in the Law Conference. She is also on the Board of Trustees for Spectrum Health Systems.
