Giselle Gutierrez, Esq., founding attorney of Exhibit G Law Firm, has been named to the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America in the practice area of Litigation - Labor and Employment for the Coral Gables, Florida region. The selection marks her first inclusion on the publication's primary list, following recognition on Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America since 2022. The 2027 editions were released on August 20, 2026.
Now in its 33rd year, The Best Lawyers in America recognizes attorneys across 151 practice areas and 203 metropolitan and geographic regions, representing approximately the top five percent of practicing attorneys in the market. Results for this edition were informed by millions of confidential evaluations submitted by tens of thousands of voting attorneys. The publication does not accept self-nomination. An attorney enters consideration only upon nomination by another member of the profession, after which currently recognized attorneys in the same practice area and region complete confidential evaluations of that candidate's work. Inclusion therefore reflects the assessment of practitioners who appear alongside and in opposition to the nominee.
"Peer review recognition is distinct from other forms of professional acknowledgment, because the evaluations are submitted by attorneys who have observed the work directly, including those who have opposed it," said Giselle Gutierrez, Esq. "Inclusion on this list reflects the judgment of colleagues who practice in the same courts and appear before the same agencies. I am grateful for their consideration and for the confidence our clients continue to place in this firm."
Additional recognitions for Gutierrez include the Daily Business Review's On The Rise honor in the 2025 Florida Legal Awards, Lawyers of Distinction in 2025, the University of Florida Levin College of Law Outstanding Young Alumnus Award, and Miami Today's Achiever recognition.
The recognition carries weight beyond personal accolade. For clients and prospective clients, it offers an independent signal of an attorney's standing among peers, particularly in a field where outcomes often hinge on courtroom credibility. For the firm, it may enhance its ability to attract and retain business in a competitive legal market.
Exhibit G Law Firm is a business and employment law firm serving clients in South Florida and northern New Jersey, with offices in Miami and Hoboken. Founded by Gutierrez, the firm handles discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, wage and overtime, whistleblower, separation agreement, and employment contract matters for businesses and individuals. A full list of practice areas is available on the firm's website. Gutierrez earned her J.D. from the University of Florida Levin College of Law and served as president of the Cuban American Bar Association in 2023 and on the Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division Board of Governors.
For HR vendors, this recognition underscores the importance of peer-reviewed credentials in the employment law space. As businesses navigate complex workplace regulations, partnering with attorneys who have demonstrated peer recognition can enhance compliance and risk management strategies. The acknowledgment of Gutierrez may also signal growing demand for specialized employment law services, presenting opportunities for HR technology providers to integrate legal expertise into their offerings.
