The selection of Giselle Gutierrez, Esq. to the Florida Super Lawyers list for 2026 marks her second consecutive year on the primary list, a distinction limited to roughly the top five percent of attorneys in the state. The recognition, announced by Exhibit G Law Firm, carries weight beyond a single honor: it signals that her practice—spanning both employer and employee representation—has earned sustained peer recognition at the highest level.
Gutierrez was recognized in Employment and Labor on both the employer and employee side, Business Litigation, and Employment Litigation for plaintiffs and defense. Her advancement from five years on the Florida Rising Stars list (2018–2022) to the primary list reflects a shift in how the profession assesses an attorney’s standing over a sustained record rather than an early trajectory. Super Lawyers applies a patented selection process combining peer nomination, independent research, and peer evaluation by practice area.
The dual-sided nature of the recognition is notable because it underscores a practice structured from its inception to serve both businesses and individuals. On the employer side, Gutierrez advises businesses on wage and hour practices, disability accommodation, family leave, and workplace privacy, and prepares employment agreements and separation agreements. On the employee side, she pursues claims involving discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, unpaid overtime, and whistleblower protections. Contested matters proceed through employment litigation in state and federal court or before the EEOC and the National Labor Relations Board.
Such recognition matters for clients because it provides an independent signal of an attorney’s credibility in a crowded field. For a boutique employment law firm, inclusion on the Super Lawyers list can influence referral networks and client confidence, particularly in complex matters that require experience on both sides of a dispute.
The firm has also expanded its footprint over the past year, adding capacity in South Florida and extending service into northern New Jersey. Gutierrez conducts seminars and training sessions for business audiences on labor and employment compliance—work directed at employers in advance of a dispute rather than in response to one. That preventive approach, combined with litigation experience, positions the firm to address workplace issues before they escalate.
Additional recent recognitions include selection to The Best Lawyers in America, the Daily Business Review’s On The Rise honor in the 2025 Florida Legal Awards, Lawyers of Distinction in 2025, and the University of Florida Levin College of Law Outstanding Young Alumnus Award. Gutierrez earned her J.D. from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 2012 and has practiced labor and employment law for more than a decade. Her practice areas also include pregnancy discrimination and overtime disputes.
The repeat selection is more than a personal accolade; it reflects a practice model that treats employer and employee representation as complementary rather than conflicting. In a legal market where specialization often narrows over time, Gutierrez’s sustained recognition across both sides suggests that versatility, backed by peer evaluation, remains a valued asset—and a signal of stability for clients navigating sensitive workplace matters.
