What Foley & Foley, PC does

Foley & Foley, PC is a management-side employment law firm founded in 2007 by Michael E. Foley and headquartered in Falmouth, Massachusetts. The firm exclusively represents employers across more than twenty U.S. states (CA, CT, FL, GA, IL, KS, KY, MA, ME, MN, MO, NC, NH, NY, OR, PA, TX, UT, VT, WI), serving organizations ranging from small businesses and nonprofits to multi-state enterprises in healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, technology, retail, sports and entertainment, and education. Its core practice covers preventive counseling, day-to-day HR guidance, multi-state compliance, handbook preparation, workplace investigations, litigation defense before the EEOC and state agencies, and labor relations.

The firm's signature offering is Employment Counsel On-Call™, a fixed-monthly-fee subscription that provides telephone and email access to senior employment attorneys with guaranteed response times of one hour for urgent messages and twenty-four hours otherwise — effectively a virtual in-house employment counsel. This is complemented by fixed-fee project services (handbook preparation, diagnostic compliance audits, FLSA wage-and-hour audits, pay equity audits, ADA accommodation toolkits) and traditional hourly billing for litigation and contested matters. Foley & Foley has expanded its service surface to include Foley HR Solutions (fractional HR leadership) and Fractional Corporate General Counsel, both delivered under a Foley Integrated Risk Management umbrella that bundles legal, HR, and corporate counsel into a single coordinated engagement.

Foley & Foley operates a virtual-by-design model: the Falmouth headquarters functions as a mailing address while all attorneys and staff work remotely, structurally lowering overhead and enabling boutique pricing for partner-level expertise. The firm is privately held by its founding partners, with no external funding or M&A history. It monetizes through three revenue streams — recurring On-Call subscriptions, fixed-fee project work, and hourly litigation — and acquires clients primarily through content marketing (a Workplace Law Blog and client newsletter), direct consultation, and referral. Notable clients include the Anaheim Ducks/Honda Center, Outer Cape Health Services, The Provident Bank, CFCU Community Credit Union, Hockomock Area YMCA, Walpole Outdoors, and Drive Shack Inc., among thousands of employers counseled across its eighteen-year history.

Broad incumbents

• Seyfarth Shaw LLP: Large full-service firm with a substantial labor and employment department representing management. Competes for similar employer-side matters but with much broader practice and scale.
• Littler Mendelson P.C. Global employment and labor law firm and the largest in the world by headcount. Overlapping practice focus on management-side employment matters; serves as a broad incumbent competitor for enterprise-level RFPs Foley & Foley cannot easily staff.
• Akerman LLP: Large full-service law firm with a notable management-side labor and employment practice. Overlaps with Foley & Foley in employment counsel work but operates across broader practice areas.

Direct peers

• Ogletree Deakins: National employment and labor law firm representing management. Direct competitor for the same multi-state employer-side work Foley & Foley pursues, with broader office footprint and litigation bench.
• Ford Harrison: Mid-sized national management-side labor and employment law firm. Comparable in size and approach to Foley & Foley, with similar employer-counsel focus across multiple jurisdictions.
• Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete: National labor and employment law firm representing management. Directly comparable practice mix and target client base, with similar emphasis on preventive employer counsel.
• Fisher Phillips: Largest U.S. law firm exclusively dedicated to management-side employment law. Highly comparable as a direct competitor for the same employer-side employment law matters Foley & Foley targets, though at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Jackson Lewis P.C. Major management-side employment law firm with 60+ offices nationwide. Closely comparable practice focus, client base, and service mix, though substantially larger scale than Foley & Foley.

Emerging players

• Insperity: PEO and HR outsourcing provider that bundles employment-related compliance, HR support, and benefits. Adjacent competitor for the same mid-market employer client seeking outsourced employment and HR services like Foley's Fractional HR offering.
• Axiom: Leading alternative legal service provider offering flexible, subscription-based in-house legal talent. Directly comparable virtual/fractional delivery model that threatens to commoditize Foley & Foley's Employment Counsel On-Call subscription.
