Lanusse has been named a BTI Client Service All-Star for the seventh consecutive year, recognizing her commitment to putting clients first and delivering outstanding results. The honor cements her status as a BTI Client Service All-Star "MVP," a title reserved for attorneys who have achieved consecutive All-Star titles for at least two years in a row. Lanusse has appeared on BTI's All-Star MVP list annually since 2011, receiving the most consecutive MVP titles of any attorney on the 2017 list.

It serves as a definitive annual guide to attorneys who, through exceptional client service, command the attention of general counsel and legal decision-makers at Fortune 1000 companies and other large organizations.

To compile the 2017 report, BTI conducted more than 310 in-depth phone interviews with general counsel and top legal decision-making executives at leading organizations. A total of 319 attorneys were named to the 2017 BTI Client Service All-Star list, with 23 attorneys - including Lanusse - representing labor and employment law.

Lanusse has more than two decades of experience in labor and employment law. Her experience has included defending claims of discrimination before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Louisiana Commission on Human Rights; handling claims arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act and state compensation commissions; defense of Occupational Safety and Health Administration claims and environmental whistleblower claims before administrative agencies; defense of Family and Medical Leave Act claims; defense of claims of violation by employers of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986; and defending employers during investigation of compliance with wage and hour laws.
