Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
Following the pandemic, employers are seeing a marked increase in employee mobility at every level and are competing for a smaller talent pool. During the last 30 years, Debra Fischer has developed a niche employee mobility practice in California and nationwide, advising on and litigating unfair competition and trade-secret issues that arise when employees change employment. She has achieved noteworthy outcomes, including back-to-back jury wins this year.
Among Fischer’s recent achievements was a complete defense victory after a six day jury trial (March 1-8, 2023) in the US District Court for the Western District of Washington for her clients Newfront and insurance producers Stanley Ogden, Eleanor O’Keefe and John Haskell. Despite the adverse summary judgment rulings‚ after less than two hours of deliberations, the jury returned a total defense verdict concluding that no damages had been caused by Fischer’s clients.
