Exceptional guidance through a complex workplace investigation

Our company faced a sensitive internal investigation involving allegations of harassment and potential wrongful termination. The situation was fraught with legal risk and required a nuanced understanding of both employment law and litigation strategy. Phillip Harris of Akerman was recommended to us, and his counsel proved invaluable. Despite his relatively recent graduation from Stetson, his focused expertise in employment law management was immediately apparent. He guided our HR team and executives through every step with remarkable clarity, ensuring our procedures were defensible and compliant. Phillip’s recognition in Best Lawyers for Employment Law - Management wasn't just a credential; it reflected his practical, strategic approach. He anticipated opposing counsel's moves, prepared us thoroughly for depositions, and helped us reach a resolution that protected the company without escalating to costly public litigation. His professionalism instilled confidence during a very stressful period. We are deeply grateful for his diligent, personalized service and highly recommend him for any Florida business navigating labor and employment matters.
