By Brooks Igo – (Aug. 13) – Labor and employment firm Fisher & Phillips recently announced the creation of a new government solutions practice group. Two of the firm’s attorneys in Texas – Joseph Gagnon of Houston and Robert Kilgore of San Antonio – will be a part of the new practice.

Gagnon and Kilgore join 24 other attorneys nationwide in the new practice group, which the firm says will focus on labor and employment legislation and regulations in areas such as workplace discrimination, employee privacy, employee compensation, unionization and organization efforts and healthcare, among others.

Firm leaders said in a statement that the attorneys in the government solutions practice group will help clients navigate and advocate for their interests at any level of government.

Gagnon, a University of Texas School of Law graduate, has experience with the defense of discrimination and discharge claims brought under Title VII, ADA, FMLA and whistleblower statutes.

Kilgore, a SMU Dedman School of Law graduate, serves as lead counsel in traditional discrimination litigation as well as benefits (ERISA), compensation (FLSA) and non-compete/trade secret litigation.
