A. Klair Fitzpatrick

Klair’s practice also involves developing compliance strategies for clients addressing US state and federal labor and employment laws across the pharmaceutical, financial services, insurance, and legal sectors. She helps clients respond to issues relating to adverse employment actions, harassment, retaliation, and compliance with state and federal laws, and designs mitigation strategies to avoid whistleblower, termination, and discrimination claims, including by advising on employment policies, pay equity, and training and audits.

In connection with her work on internal investigations, counseling, and class actions, Klair regularly works with statisticians and other experts to analyze large data sets. She also partners with clients to create crisis management plans to have before harassment allegations are brought, and advises on workplace culture assessments to evaluate companies’ policies, practices, and processes for handling sexual harassment and other workplace complaints.

A strong pro bono proponent, Klair sits on the advisory board of the Field Center for Children’s Policy, Practice & Research.

Klair frequently presents on issues relating to retaliation, investigation best practices, the attorney-client privilege, and COVID-19 orders.
