Fairfax, VA - Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLC, a national labor and employment law firm representing management, proudly announces Associate Maureen R. Knight has been selected as a “2006 Virginia Rising Star” by Virginia Super Lawyers.

Super Lawyers, the top five percent of attorneys in the state, are asked to vote for the best attorneys who are either 40 or younger or who have been practicing 10 years or less.  The lawyers are asked to vote for lawyers they have personally observed in action — whether as opposing counsel or co-counsel, or through other first-hand courtroom observation.

Knight has defended more than two hundred discrimination charges before state and federal agencies, including those based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age and retaliation.  She devotes a substantial amount of her practice to wage and hour issues, including preventive consultation, audits and defense of class action
litigation.  Knight was also the recipient of an award, generally reserved for company employees, by a client’s legal department for her responsiveness and legal expertise.
