Cynthia Uduebor Washington
Special Counsel
Baker Botts
Dallas, TX

Cynthia Uduebor Washington helps employers of all sizes and across
many industries make sense of workplace law – so that they can
continue doing what they do best – delivering their goods and services
to people who seek them.

As a former in-house labor and employment counsel and human
resource executive for a national healthcare company, Cynthia brings
real-world experience to her legal practice. She understands that her
clients are constantly having to assess legal risks while striving to
achieve operational business goals and satisfy often-competing
stakeholder demands. She believes that advice is only as good as it is
useful; and to that end, she collaborates with clients to develop legally
compliant, full-circle solutions that address people, policy, process, and
procedure. Those working with Cynthia appreciate her deep
understanding of the law, ability to educate those seeking her counsel,
and practical, problem-solving approach.

Cynthia advises employers on a broad range of labor and employment
law matters, including issues arising under the ADEA, ADA, FLSA, FMLA,
OSHA, Title VII, USERRA, WARN, and other federal, state, and local labor
and employment laws. Her practice encompasses counseling employers
on personnel decisions and policy development, litigation defense and
prevention, internal and governmental workplace investigations, and
training on workplace law developments and compliance.

Cynthia is a skilled litigator with appellate, class action, and complex
litigation experience and has represented clients in disputes before
federal and state courts, administrative agencies, and arbitrators. Prior
to returning to Baker Botts, where she began her career as a labor and
employment attorney, Cynthia was an active member of the general
litigation, class actions and complex litigation, and workplace training
practice groups for a national labor and employment law firm.
