Healthcare Workers

Health care workers are faced with additional obstacles when employment issues arise. When the client is a physician or nurse, in addition to having to navigate the underlying issues with the employer the physician or nurse must also be wary of reputational damage in the medical community and medical licensing issues.

MacLellan Law Firm has extensive experience fighting for physicians and nurses with respect to problems with employment and simultaneously has an eye on the ancillary consequences of litigation.

Ms. MacLellan was named one of the top 12 Lawyers of the Year in Massachusetts in 2018 after single handedly winning a $28 million verdict in an employment discrimination case, which was a landmark verdict which far exceeded prior jury awards in the field of employment law in Massachusetts.
