NEW SCOTLAND — John M. Bagyi, a lawyer in the Albany office for Bond, Schoeneck & King PLLC, has been named one of the Lawdragon 500 Leading U.S. Corporate Employment Lawyers.

A 1989 graduate of Guilderland High School, Bagyi lives in Voorheesville with his wife, Dania, and their daughters, Kennedy and McKenna.

An attorney holding both the Senior Professional in Human Resources and Society for Human Resource Management - Senior Certified Professional certifications, Bagyi counsels and represents employers on labor and employment issues.

“With years of experience advising employers in a broad range of industries, he provides his clients practical, real world advice, mindful of the need to balance the legal ‘ideal’ with a client’s operational reality,” according to a release from his firm.

Bagyi was selected through a research process including peer reviews. According to Lawdragon, a legal media company, these 500 lawyers “reflect the dominance of a handful of law firms who either specialize in employment or offer profoundly strong employment practices.”

Bagyi was previously recognized by HR Executive Magazine as one of 200 of the “Nation’s Most Powerful Employment Lawyers,” in each of the past six years.
