Jason also has broad experience representing financial services institutions in employment litigation and restrictive covenant matters. 

At Fisher Phillips, Jason joins a growing Employee Defection and Trade Secrets practice and adds depth to the firm’s national Education and Financial Services teams. He will continue to defend clients against all forms of employment claims and counsel employers on preventing workplace disputes, and will provide advice on regulatory compliance with state and federal workplace laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
