Fisher Phillips

What Fisher Phillips does

Fisher Phillips is a U.S.-headquartered labor and employment law firm founded in 1943 and operating as a Delaware limited liability partnership (Fisher & Phillips LLP) with its principal office in Atlanta. The firm advises and advocates for employers — across private and public sectors — on workplace matters including employment discrimination, wage and hour compliance, labor relations, workplace safety, immigration, employee benefits, and workplace investigations. Its client base spans at least ten named verticals (trucking/transportation, technology, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, PEO/staffing, construction, automotive, education, and life sciences), and the firm reaches these clients through 47 offices across the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Querétaro), Japan (Tokyo), and a Virtual Office platform staffed by remote employment-law attorneys.

Beyond traditional legal services, Fisher Phillips has built a deliberate technology and AI-enabled services portfolio. The fpSOLUTIONS venture, launched in February 2024 after the acquisition of Blue Pencil Box, delivers cost-effective HR solutions and knowledge management with an initial focus on non-compete agreements. The AI Governance Hub is a modular suite of seven services — AI compliance and regulatory monitoring, ethics policy and governance, policy drafting, third-party vendor risk assessment, bias audits (delivered in partnership with Solas AI), AI governance training, and NIST AI Risk Management Framework-aligned risk and compliance audits — supported by proprietary AI Legislation Map and AI Litigation Tracker tools. The firm was an early adopter of Clio's Vincent Studio no-code AI workflow builder to embed institutional knowledge into legal-service workflows.

The firm earns revenue primarily through professional-services billing on quote-based engagements, with alternative fee arrangements on certain matters, supplemented by subscription-style revenue from fpSOLUTIONS and AI Governance service lines. It distributes services through direct attorney–client engagement across its office network and a self-serve Virtual Office channel, and generates demand through a content-led marketing strategy that includes 500+ legal insights per year, the biweekly AI Workplace Forum, the annual AI Evolution Conference, webinars, seminars, the FP5 podcast, email newsletters, and active social media. Ownership remains entirely internal to the partnership, with no disclosed private equity or external capital; leadership is provided by Chairman & Managing Partner John M. Polson and an executive team including a Chief Legal Operations Officer, Chief Knowledge & Innovation Officer, and Chief Content Officer.
