Fisher Phillips’ Dallas Momentum Continues with Addition of Partner Collin Brodrick

Fisher Phillips, an international labor and employment law firm representing employers, is pleased to announce that Collin Brodrick has joined the firm as a Partner in Dallas. This news comes on the heels of Fisher Phillips announcing its new Dallas location and leadership and adds to the growth momentum of that office after the recent arrivals of Gregory Zerzan, Liz Drumm, Jonathan Elifson, and Alen Samuel.

Collin has diverse experience defending companies in a wide-variety of complex and high-stakes litigation matters including employment, commercial, medical malpractice and personal injury, especially in the healthcare, hospitality, maritime, construction, and transportation industries. He is particularly known for defending employers in federal and state courts and in proceedings before the U.S. Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Texas Workforce Commission. Collin was most recently of counsel at one of the big four labor and employment law firms where he represented employers in workplace disputes arising out of state and federal laws including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. He also handled matters on behalf of companies involving the protection of trade secrets and confidential business information and restrictive covenants not to compete.

“Collin’s strong first chair trial experience and skilled handling of high-stakes employment matters are a great complement to what we can offer clients here in Texas and across the firm’s international platform,” said Adam Sloustcher, Regional Managing Partner of the firm’s Dallas office. “His arrival adds to all the excitement and energy the firm is experiencing here in Dallas, and we are just thrilled to welcome a lawyer of Collin’s caliber to our growing team.”

In addition to litigation, a large part of Collin’s practice at Fisher Phillips will be providing practical solutions, strategic advice, and compliance counseling as proactive ways to help companies prevent workplace disputes before they arise. He has in-depth experience advising and training employers on Texas and multistate compliance with federal and state employment laws and workplace issues including discrimination and harassment prevention, internal investigations, family and medical leave, disability, pregnancy, military leave and reinstatement rights, wage advancements and deductions, terminations, RIFs and furloughs, and overtime pay. He also regularly partners with employers of all sizes to prepare policies and handbooks, and he has considerable experience drafting and analyzing non-competition agreements.

“Fisher Phillips prides itself on partnering with companies to help solve their most complex workplace issues, and I’m looking forward to integrating my litigation and counseling experience into the breadth and depth of the firm’s client-focused approach to employment law,” said Collin. “The firm has been gathering momentum here in Dallas, and I could not be more excited about the trajectory of the office and the opportunities it presents for my clients and my practice.”

Collin earned his J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center and his B.A. from The University of Texas at Austin.  Upon graduation from college, Collin commissioned as an officer through The University of Texas at Austin Army Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) and served eight years in the Army National Guard in several roles, including as a combat engineer and human resources officer.
