Kevin Hess Rejoins Fisher Phillips in Columbus, Ohio

Fisher Phillips, one of the country’s preeminent labor and employment law firms representing employers, is pleased to announce that Kevin Hess has rejoined the firm as Partner in the Columbus, Ohio office.

Kevin spent over 8 years of his legal career at Fisher Phillips before leaving for a brief stint at another AmLaw200 firm where he represented employers in workplace safety, labor and employment, and workers’ compensation matters. Kevin now returns to Fisher Phillips where he will represent employers in state and federal courts and counsel them on compliance with a vast array of employment-related laws and regulations. A large part of his practice will focus on workplace safety compliance and enforcement issues involving the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), but Kevin will also counsel employers on all other aspects of employment law involving everything from discrimination and retaliation to accommodations and harassment policies. Kevin will also handle workers’ compensation matters and will represent employers before the Ohio Industrial Commission and Bureau of Workers’ Compensation with issues involving general claims, medical reimbursement, self-insurance, rate assessments, and coverage.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kevin back to Fisher Phillips,” said Steven Loewengart, Regional Managing Partner of the firm’s Columbus office. “He returns with his valuable perspective on handling everything from high-stakes workplace safety matters to complex workers’ compensation disputes. Kevin is a dynamic lawyer with well-practiced trial and mediation skills, and it is a joy to welcome him home to the Columbus office where he will further strengthen our bench in Ohio and across the country.”   

“I am excited to rejoin my Fisher Phillips family,” added Kevin. “The firm’s national platform has done so much for me and my clients, and I’m looking forward to picking up where I left off and jumping right back in with the support of my Columbus colleagues and the firm’s broader network of top-notch labor and employment attorneys.”        

Kevin has represented an array of businesses nationwide including companies in the manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, construction, retail, and services industries on matters involving public policy torts, occupational disease, disability claims, wrongful discharge, grievances, and unfair labor practice charges.

Kevin earned his law degree from the University of Dayton School of Law and his undergraduate degree from Messiah College. He has been listed in Ohio Super Lawyers since 2016.
