Samantha Monsees Rejoins Fisher Phillips’ Kansas City Office

Fisher Phillips, one of the country’s preeminent labor and employment law firms representing employers, is pleased to announce that Samantha Monsees has rejoined the firm as an associate in the Kansas City office.

Samantha spent over four years of her legal career at Fisher Phillips representing employers in state and federal courts and before state and local administrative agencies including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Missouri Commission on Human Rights, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Department of Labor. She left the firm in 2020 to assume an in-house counsel role at a digital marketing company serving law firms and the broader legal industry. Samantha has now returned to Fisher Phillips where she will resume her practice representing employers in claims arising from all aspects of the employment relationship, including wage and hour, harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. She will also help employers of all sizes prevent workplace disputes by advising them on day-to-day compliance issues and litigation avoidance, including conducting employee handbook review and drafting personnel policies and procedures tailored to her clients’ needs.

“We could not be more thrilled to have Samantha back at the firm,”  said Jim Holland, Regional Managing Partner of the Kansas City office. “She is a tremendous lawyer and further strengthens our bench here in Kansas City and across the country.  It is always a joy to have one of our own return home.”

Samantha earned her J.D. from the University of Kansas School of Law and her B.A. and B.S. from the University of Kansas. She was named a “Rising Star” by Missouri and Kansas Super Lawyers in 2018 and 2019.
