Ortega, an attorney at Littler, the world’s largest employment and labor law practice representing management, has been selected as an academy fellow by the National Employment Law Council (NELC). The organization is committed to enriching the minority bar among management-side employment lawyers.

At Littler, we are committed to supporting our associates with their professional goals and look forward to Andrea’s contribution to the program.”

In her practice, Ortega represents and advises employers in a broad range of labor and employment matters.
