California Lawyer Accuses Fisher Phillips of Malicious Prosecution in Workplace Advocacy Case

A legal battle is unfolding as a Los Angeles employment lawyer has taken action against the international labor firm Fisher Phillips. The lawyer filed a lawsuit for malicious prosecution, asserting that Fisher Phillips employed a “frivolous Rube Goldberg-esque legal argument” to prevent him from advocating for workers involved in a dispute with a Southern California diner chain. This suit accuses Fisher Phillips of using the courts to obstruct justice by targeting the lawyer’s right to represent employees. Further details about this case can be accessed on Law360.
