FordHarrison

What FordHarrison does

FordHarrison LLP is a national labor and employment law firm founded in 1978 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm exclusively represents employers (management-side) across all 50 states through 25 U.S. offices, covering traditional labor relations, employment litigation, business immigration, employee benefits, wage and hour, and affirmative action/OFCCP compliance. FordHarrison serves employers ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies across virtually every industry, with vertical specializations in healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, restaurants, and government contractors, addressing pain points such as EEOC/DOL defense, union avoidance, FLSA collective actions, and ICE worksite enforcement response.

The firm's core product is legal representation, augmented by proprietary knowledge assets including the Boundless Labor and Employment Law SourceBook — a 1,000+ page reference spanning 28 sections, exclusively available to clients and continuously updated. Revenue is generated through professional services fees billed by attorney time and matter scope, structured as multi-year retainers and matter-specific engagements. Distribution is direct through attorney-client relationships across all 25 offices, with affiliated FH Solutions Group (FHSG), a Washington, DC-based labor relations consultancy, providing complementary non-legal consulting.

The firm is managed by Managing Partner John Monroe, with a seven-partner Executive Committee and regional/office managing partners (Atlanta, New York, Orlando, St. Louis, Tampa, among others). FordHarrison invests in attorney development through mandatory training and a culture of publishing, and markets itself via webinars, in-person seminars, conferences (SHRM, Pacific Coast Labor & Employment Law Conference, Conflux Workforce Development Summit), legal alerts, the EntertainHR blog, and active social media. No technology platform, software product, or AI/ML capability is described; the firm operates as a traditional professional services business.
