Conn Maciel Carey LLP (CMC) is honored to announce that the firm is one of only two law firms recognized as “Band 1″ for Occupational Safety and Health Law nationwide.  This is the fourth year in a row that CMC has received the “Band 1” honor, which is every year that Chambers has ranked the OSHA/MSHA Law category, and the firm remains the only “boutique” firm in the rankings.

  • Aaron Gelb, Midwest OSHA Practice Chair – Ranked “Band 2”
  • Rachel Conn, California Practice Chair – Ranked “Band 3”
  • Valerie Butera, OSHA Senior Counsel – Ranked “Band 3”
  • Nicholas Scala, MSHA Practice Chair – “Up and Coming”
