Giselle Gutierrez, a Miami attorney specializing in labor and employment law, has been distinguished as an 'On The Rise' honoree in the 2025 Daily Business Review (DBR) Florida Legal Awards. This accolade celebrates her innovative approaches and significant contributions to the legal field, particularly in areas of workplace safety, equality, and legal compliance. As the only solo practitioner acknowledged in this category, Gutierrez's achievements set her apart among South Florida's emerging legal talents under the age of 40.
The 'On the Rise' award by DBR is a testament to attorneys who exhibit not only innovative practice methods but also leadership and substantial professional impact. The selection process is thorough, involving peer nominations, detailed essays on accomplishments, and evaluations by senior editors and professional committees. Gutierrez's recognition is a reflection of her dedication and excellence in handling complex employment matters, including disputes over unpaid wages, discrimination cases, whistleblower lawsuits, and litigation concerning employment contracts. Her expertise has been demonstrated in successful arguments before the National Labor Relations Board and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in both Florida and federal courts.
Beyond her legal practice, Gutierrez is deeply committed to professional growth and community service. She offers training seminars on labor and employment laws and is actively involved with the Florida Bar Association and Cuban American Bar Association. Her previous accolades, such as Miami Today's Achiever Recognition and the University of Florida Levin College of Law's Outstanding Young Alumnus Award, further attest to her professional dedication and achievements.
The DBR Florida Legal Awards ceremony, scheduled for April 3 at the JW Marriott Marquis in Miami, will honor Gutierrez and her peers. This recognition not only celebrates individual accomplishments but also highlights the vibrant and evolving nature of Florida's legal sector, especially in the realm of labor and employment law.
