By working closely with firm leadership and our practice groups and industry teams, he ensures that Fisher Phillips meets the needs of our clients each and every day by publishing over 500 legal insights each year.
- He is a leading voice for the firm’s Artificial Intelligence Practice Group, developing practical Insights, organizing the firm’s annual AI Conferences, and hosting the popular biweekly AI Workplace Forum webinar series. He also regularly trains employers (and attorneys within the firm) on effective AI use.
- He’s regularly been tapped by national media sources to discuss workplace matters, having been quoted in The New York Times, U.S. News, Bloomberg, The Los Angeles Times, Wired, Yahoo! Finance, New York Magazine, Employment Law 360, National Law Journal, SHRM.org, and Law.com, and appeared on National Public Radio.
- He also enjoys sharing his ideas about how to make legal content successful. He’s recently appeared on podcasts and webinars hosted by JD Supra and Passle to discuss his passion for content.

Kirkingburg, an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) case. He won cases for clients at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Oregon Supreme Court, and the Oregon Court of Appeals, and also won trial victories in both state and federal courts.
