Lawyers for Employers

Founded in Atlanta in 1943, Fisher Phillips has grown from a regional to national player. The firm first established practices in traditional labor and employment, wage and hour, and disability law and then developed expertise in employee benefits and immigration law compliance. In addition to these areas of employment law, Fisher Phillips also advises clients on employee defection and trade secret issues, trending pay equity and transparency matters, and the impact of AI on the workplace. The firm’s client base includes, but is not limited to, employers in the agriculture, automotive, casino, healthcare, real estate, transportation, and manufacturing sectors.

Fisher Phillips’ attorneys are also a prolific bunch, writing for labor law-related publications and The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and the Miami Herald and explaining employment matters on NPR and local newscasts. They discuss hiring and firing practices, strategies for employers seeking to reduce litigation risk, how AI is shaping workplace policies, how to comply with immigration laws, and international employment issues.

Career Roadmap

At Fisher Phillips, cases are often staffed with only a partner and an associate. This dynamic provides associates with on-the-job mentoring and training, as well as high levels of responsibility from the start. Moreover, the firm provides associates a roadmap to success, outlining competencies and experience benchmarks for three of its practice groups. This guidance gives associates transparency into firm expectations, and mentors and office or practice group leaders ensure that they receive relevant growth opportunities. All associates have access to a variety of substantive, legal skills, and professional skills trainings corresponding to their development needs.
