Fisher Phillips Welcomes Mohamed Barry and Kathleen Laubenstein in Philadelphia

Fisher Phillips, one of the country’s preeminent labor and employment law firms representing employers, is pleased to announce the addition of Mohamed Barry and Kathleen Laubenstein in the firm’s Philadelphia office. Mohamed joins as an associate and Kathleen joins as Of Counsel, as the Philadelphia office continues its strong growth, which has accelerated with the decision to move the Philadelphia office from the suburbs into Center City Philadelphia. Since signing a lease to take the 12^thfloor of the Two Logan Square building, and executing the move in June 2020, the firm has added 15 attorneys, increasing its Philadelphia headcount to 31 attorneys. 

Mohamed joins Fisher Phillips from a regional firm where he exclusively represented management clients on labor law matters involving employee benefits, workplace regulation and compliance in unionized workplaces. Prior to entering private practice, Mohamed served as a Deputy Attorney General in the Office of the Attorney General in Newark, N.J. and clerked for the Honorable Michael J. Nelson in the Superior Court of New Jersey’s Civil Division. He earned his J.D. from Rutgers School of Law and his B.A. from Seton Hall University’s School of Diplomacy and International Relations.

Kathleen advises employers on restrictive covenant and trade secret matters and defends them in complex litigation, arbitrations, agency proceedings and regulatory investigations involving data privacy and cybersecurity. She has extensive experience litigating cases in state and federal courts and helping clients comply with applicable laws and regulations. At Fisher Phillips, Kathleen will join the firm’s Employee Defection and Trade Secrets and Privacy and Cyber practices where she will help clients protect their proprietary business information. She earned her J.D., summa cum laude, from Temple University and her B.A., cum laude, from Barnard College of Columbia University.
