Overview
Shiloh Theberge is a partner in Fisher Phillips’ Portland, Maine office. She advises and defends employers throughout New England in matters involving claims of employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful discharge, as well as disability accommodation, wage and hour laws, whistleblower, and family and medical leave laws. Shiloh has a particular practice focus representing private and public higher education institutions and other schools in employment-related, student-related and Title IX cases, as well as day-to-day advising on student and employment issues and contracts.
Shiloh has successfully defended clients in both federal and state courts across Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, as well as before administrative agencies such as the Maine Human Rights Commission and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She also frequently acts as a neutral investigator in sensitive employment matters for both higher education institutions and other employers, addressing issues with care and consideration for all parties involved.
With more than 15 years of experience representing employers in New England and the Mid-Atlantic on employment-related matters, Shiloh prioritizes building enduring relationships with clients, which enables her to provide advice that is both effective—often keeping them out of court—and aligned with the organization’s culture and strategy. In the event of litigation, Shiloh vigorously advocates for each client’s distinct interests, dedicating herself to securing the best possible outcomes.
Shiloh regularly helps employers draft and update policies and handbooks to reflect ever-changing employment laws. She also assists in conducting HR audits, training employees, drafting executive employment agreements, conducting settlement negotiations and mediations, and preparing and implementing drug testing policies.
Before joining Fisher Phillips, Shiloh was a partner and Chair of the Labor and Employment Practice Group at a diversified New England-based law firm, and earlier in her career was an associate at a large Philadelphia law firm.
