Fisher Phillips, a labor and employment law firm based in Atlanta, announced on Tuesday the addition of Robin Repass as a partner in its Washington, D.C. office. Repass, a former member of Amazon’s global standards and compliance team, will join Fisher Phillips’ workplace safety and catastrophe management practice and work with the firm’s manufacturing, transportation, and supply chain teams.
With a background in workplace safety, Repass has advised companies in various sectors, including automobile, manufacturing, mining, steel, and solar energy, on health and safety projects, as well as litigation and investigations from the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Prior to her time at Amazon, Repass worked at SolarCity Corp and later at Tesla Inc after it acquired the solar panel company. She also spent just over a year as a shareholder at labor and employment firm Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart in Denver.
According to Dan Farrington, co-managing partner of Fisher Phillips’ D.C. office, Repass’ addition to the firm will help attract talent and grow its international employment and government affairs practices. Fisher Phillips recently announced plans to double its Washington-area office space and move locations from Bethesda, Maryland to downtown D.C.
