Foley & Lardner LLP partner Phil Phillips is recognized as a 2023 Notable Leader in Employment Law by Crain’s Detroit Business.
Phillips is the managing partner of Foley’s Detroit office and a member of the firm’s Labor & Employment Practice Group and Automotive Industry team. He counsels and represents business clients across the country in all aspects of labor and employment law, including employment discrimination and harassment claims, ADA and FMLA claims and compliance, FLSA wage and hour claims and compliance, non-competition and trade secrets matters, collective bargaining, and labor arbitrations.
"My job is to not just advise and defend companies accused of wrongdoing, but to proactively assist them in ensuring that employees are not subjected to unfair or unequal treatment at work," Phillips told Crain’s Detroit Business. "This includes taking active steps to educate and train their workforces to ensure that diversity, equity, and inclusion are ingrained in a company's culture and one of its core values."
Phillips is also dedicated to giving back to his Detroit community. He serves on the board of the McGregor Fund, an organization that works to support and strengthen a safety net of essential resources and opportunities for vulnerable community members, and provides pro bono services to nonprofit organizations, including the Saginaw County Community Action Center.
