Atlanta-Based Fisher & Phillips LLP Adds Attorney to Atlanta Office

Fisher & Phillips LLP, one of the nation’s leading labor and employment law firms representing employers, announced that attorney Joshua H. Viau has joined its Atlanta office as Of Counsel.

Having practiced labor and employment law for the last 14 years, Viau represents companies in various labor and employment matters. These matters include defending employers in employment-related litigation in the areas of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, compliance with leave and wage and hour laws and regulations, and contract disputes involving restrictive covenants and trade secrets.

Viau also advises and represents management in traditional labor matters such as grievance arbitrations, unfair labor practice cases, union elections, contract negotiations, strikes and alternative dispute resolution. He also guides employers through reductions in workforce and individual employee separations to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to discourage subsequent litigation. 

Viau likewise provides clients with services aimed at compliance and litigation avoidance, including the creation and application of workplace policies and practices, training programs for management and employees, and workplace audits.
