Brian Guerinot’s practice focuses on representing independent and private schools, but he also represents businesses in all aspects of workplace law.

Brian aids schools in a variety of areas, including student and employee discipline; faculty, staff and student contract drafting; handbook and policy drafting, implementation, and enforcement; LGBTQ issues, including transgender students and employees; board governance and training; discrimination claims and EEOC charges; administration and faculty training and development; school entanglement in family court proceedings; and investigations, litigation, arbitration and mediation.

Prior to joining Fisher Phillips, Brian worked at a Houston-based education firm, where he represented public and charter school clients in all areas of the law, including litigation matters, student and employee discipline issues, and contract drafting and review.
