Fisher Phillips, one of the country’s preeminent labor and employment law firms representing employers, announces the addition of Lisa McClane as a Partner in the firm’s Las Vegas office.

For the last decade, Lisa practiced at an AmLaw 100 firm where she represented employers in complex litigation arising under a variety of state and federal claims.

Lisa will also focus a large part of her practice on proactively helping employers avoid litigation and workplace disputes by working with them to design, implement, and conduct training programs. She regularly conducts trainings on discrimination, harassment, and disability health leave issues. In addition to trainings, Lisa will also work with employers to conduct workplace investigations and advise them on compliance with a variety of federal and state employment laws and agency regulations including the Family and Medical Leave Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Equal Pay Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
