Overview

Dan Farrington is a Chambers-ranked employment litigator with nearly thirty years of experience representing major airlines and other large employers in high-stakes disputes. He is recognized by Chambers & Partners for his “deep experience advising clients in the aviation sector on labor and employment disputes” and serves as Managing Partner of Fisher Phillips’ Washington, D.C. office, Co-Chair of the firm’s Transportation and Supply Chain industry group, and Chair of its Aviation industry sub-group.

Dan’s litigation practice centers on sensitive, high-consequence employment disputes, including discrimination and harassment claims, accommodation and leave issues, and employee defection and restrictive covenant matters. For airline clients, Dan also handles industry-specific AIR21 whistleblower cases and engages with federal agencies when enforcement priorities implicate broad workplace policies or seek systemic relief. He is often brought into matters around the country when disputes require disciplined fact development, careful messaging, and decisive strategy, including litigation involving senior-level employees and matters likely to draw public attention. Dan’s clients describe him as “a smart experienced trial attorney who exhibits tremendous practicality” and a “gifted strategist” whose “clarity of thought is a particular benefit.”
