Employment and labor firm Fisher & Phillips enjoyed what managing partner Roger K. Quillen termed a “very profitable year” in 2011, expanding both its revenue and it national footprint with new offices in Cleveland and Los Angeles, and adding two more this year. Quillen said a recovering economy meant that more clients were able to pay their outstanding bills and also start spending more money on training, consulting and other proactive measures. The firm also has been aided by a resurgent regulatory atmosphere in Washington and increased employment discrimination litigation nationwide. Quillen said F&P is looking toward 10 percent revenue growth in 2012, and that the new Boston and Memphis offices are likely to be the last to be added in the foreseeable future.
