Leann Walsh Earns Chambers USA Recognition for North Carolina Labor Law for 3 Straight Years

Summary
Leann Walsh was recognized by Chambers USA for Labor and Employment in North Carolina from 2023 through 2025, adding to recent honors that include Triangle Business Journal’s 2022 “40 Under 40.”
Walsh built that profile after making partner at K&L Gates in March 2020, when the pandemic abruptly reshaped workplace law and drove urgent client demand for employment advice.
Her practice has since expanded to a team of eight in Raleigh, which she said is K&L Gates’ largest U.S. employment law team on the East Coast.
At K&L Gates, Walsh advises domestic and international clients on employee relations, internal investigations and employment litigation, with policy work affecting hundreds of thousands of workers.
The recognition caps a career shaped by resilience after her father’s death during her first year at BC Law and by earlier pro bono leadership at Goodwin Procter.
