Chambers Spotlight Recognition
Goltz Employment Law & Investigations (GELI) has been ranked in the forthcoming Chambers USA Spotlight 2027 guide and recognized as a leading boutique firm for Labor & Employment in Chicago. The recognition follows Chambers and Partners’ independent, in-depth market analysis, which evaluates firms on factors including legal ability, client service, commercial awareness, diligence, and cost-effectiveness. Chambers USA Spotlight identifies exceptional small and mid-sized law firms offering focused expertise and sophisticated counsel in regional markets throughout the United States. The guide exclusively recognizes firms with fewer than 75 attorneys. Its Labor & Employment rankings highlight firms handling matters such as workplace discrimination, harassment, wage-and-hour disputes, and labor relations.
GELI is particularly recognized for its work conducting independent, high-stakes workplace investigations. The firm regularly handles sensitive matters involving senior executives, human resources and compliance leaders, multiple complainants, competing narratives, and allegations that may reveal broader breakdowns in leadership, reporting, compliance, or institutional processes. “I am honored that Goltz Employment Law & Investigations has been recognized by Chambers,” said founder Jenny Goltz. “As an independent firm, we are trusted with matters that are consequential, confidential, and often difficult to assess internally. This recognition reflects the confidence our clients place in us to approach those matters with independence, sound judgment, and clarity, and to deliver findings and recommendations they can act on.” The ranking also reflects the firm’s broader management-side employment practice, which includes counseling employers on performance management, discipline, leave and accommodations, wage-and-hour compliance, workplace policies, employee separations, organizational restructuring, and reductions in force. The firm also develops and delivers workplace training and executive coaching.
This recognition underscores the firm’s distinctive position in the legal market. The firm offers clients direct access to senior-level counsel and combines the sophistication and experience of a large-firm-trained lawyer with the responsiveness, efficiency, and individualized attention of a boutique practice.
