History and practice

The firm remained local to the Bay Area until the 1990s, when it expanded throughout the U.S. via mergers and acquisitions.[8]

In 2010, the firm announced an international labor and employment law office in Caracas, Venezuela (this office subsequently joined Ius Laboris in 2012).[9] The firm opened two offices in Mexico under the name Littler, De la Vega y Conde, S.C.[10] In October 2013, Littler combined with two Latin American law firms, adding a presence in four additional countries in the Latin American region - Colombia, Costa Rica,[11] El Salvador, and Panama,[12] and creating a new entity named Littler Global.[13] The firm continued expanding through Littler Global, opening offices in Puerto Rico,[14] the Dominical Republic, Honduras, Peru,[15] and Guatemala.

The firm is the largest labor and employment law firm in the US,[16][17][18] and received high rankings[19][20] including diversity,[21] working conditions for women,[22] and innovation.[23]
