Fisher & Phillips has sharply increased the size of its Seattle office through a merger with local labor and employment boutique Michael & Alexander, which handles employment law and litigation, civil litigation, professional negligence and cyber risk matters for management.

The boutique’s name partners, Suzanne Kelly Michael and Stephanie Alexander, joined the national labor and employment firm as partners, bringing with them Matt Macario as of counsel and associates Kathleen Kline, Claire Marshall and Thomas Vogliano. Four staff members are also making the move.
