Fisher Phillips is a national law firm engaged exclusively in the practice of labor relations and employment law, representing management. We represent a diverse clientele, consisting both of large national corporations and smaller businesses throughout North America and Europe. Our practice involves handling matters arising under all federal and state laws affecting employment, including union organization and collective bargaining, civil rights and employment discrimination, pension and employee benefits, occupational safety and health, immigration, wage-hour issues, and the emerging area of common-law employment claims.

Our lawyers litigate in federal and state trial courts, the U.S. Courts of Appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court, and handle trials and hearings before numerous federal agencies and private arbitrators. Our work involves more than just litigation, however, and we work closely with our clients on a day-to-day basis, assisting them in taking a preventive approach to employee relations in an effort to avert problems before they result in employee dissatisfaction or costly litigation.

Fisher Phillips presently employs over five hundred attorneys in 38 offices located in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbia, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Gulfport, Houston, Irvine, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Louisville, McLean, Memphis, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Jersey, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, Washington, DC, and Woodland Hills. It is one of the largest labor law firms in the country, and thus it is large enough to provide a challenging and sophisticated national practice. At the same time, it is sufficiently small to permit an informal working atmosphere and to ensure that attorneys may assume considerable responsibility early in their careers.

We seek to employ individuals who are mature, self-motivated, confident, and hardworking. Strong analytical and writing skills are essential, as are creativity, solid academic credentials and a genuine interest in the practice of labor and employment law. The firm hires new lawyers with the expectation that they not only will attain partnership but also will become leaders of the profession. Advancement of higher levels of responsibility is based solely upon demonstrated ability. As a result, associates at Fisher Phillips generally are vested with significant responsibility much earlier in their careers, and they may advance more quickly, than those at many other large firms.
