FOREST HILLS, NY, October 30, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Nicole Lancia, of counsel with Jackson Lewis PC, was selected by Marquis Who's Who for a prominent feature in the New York Edition of The Wall Street Journal, published on January 23, 2025.

Ms. Lancia excels as an attorney and has dedicated her career to helping employers and unions understand and comply with their responsibilities under the National Labor Relations Act. After over 13 years as a federal government attorney, Ms. Lancia transitioned to the private sector at Jackson Lewis PC. She has advised clients on the collective bargaining process, written arbitration and NLRB briefs, responded to union grievances, and assessed employers' vulnerability to unionization. Previously, she was a trial attorney with the United States Department of Labor in New York City. Among her achievements in that role, she obtained an injunction against a restaurant/bar for its child labor violations.

One of the most notable aspects of Ms. Lancia's career was her 11-year tenure as an attorney with the National Labor Relations Board. She wrote several appellate briefs seeking enforcement of the board's orders and argued those cases in circuit courts throughout the country. Ms. Lancia also played a crucial role on a small, dedicated team of attorneys in litigation against McDonald's USA, which challenged her to navigate a complex case, including investigating communications from management regarding the "Fight for 15" wage campaign. Reflecting on her experience, Ms. Lancia believes the opportunity enriched her understanding of labor relations while contributing to an important legal and socioeconomic issue.

Ms. Lancia attributes her success to the profound influence of her mother, a dedicated secretary for Oded Aboodi since she was 19. Despite financial challenges, her mother insisted that she study abroad in Ecuador through Georgetown University's Nature and Culture program, which included one week at a biodiversity station in Tiputini and another week in the Galapagos. Ms. Lancia earned a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy with minors in Spanish and African American studies from Georgetown University in 2007. Three years later, she graduated with a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center, which admitted her without the LSAT exam.

In addition to her academic pursuits, Ms. Lancia obtained a monetary award from Georgetown's African Studies program to volunteer with the Ghana Health and Education Initiative, advocating for women's empowerment in Humjibre. She and two fellow volunteers worked to build teenage girls' self-esteem and educate women about safe sex and reproductive health, seeking to lessen the stigmas against young women interested in preventative health measures and encourage those young women to embark on their own journeys. The previous summer, Ms. Lancia volunteered as an ESL instructor in a small village in Culiacán, teaching children and teenagers at the local school. She has also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity International in Nepal and Honduras to build houses for those in need. Since 2020, Ms. Lancis has also served her local community as the diversity and inclusion committee chair for the Phi Beta Kappa New York Chapter.

Over the coming years, Ms. Lancia aims to secure an appointment to the National Labor Relations Board or the Department of Labor. Her time in the private sector has provided crucial insights into labor-management relationships from differing perspectives, and she believes that experience, coupled with her public service career, will enhance her contributions to future government roles.

Ms. Lancia highly values hard work, humanitarianism and perseverance, believing true leadership is rooted in dedication to one's goals, demonstrating resiliency despite obstacles and a sincere desire to understand other people's experiences. As both an attorney and a mother, she hopes to leave a meaningful legacy for American society and her 2-year-old son, Vincent.
