OSHA Litigation Partner Rejoins Fisher Phillips in Houston
Fisher Phillips, one of the country’s preeminent labor and employment law firms representing employers, announces the return of Collin Warren as a Partner in the firm’s Houston office.
For the last few years, Collin served as the Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel of APM, one of the largest union construction companies in North America. In this role, he was a member of the company’s leadership team and was responsible for its Legal, Compliance, Communications, Human Resources and Insurance/Risk programs. Collin also represented the company in employment-related litigation and investigations while overseeing employee relations, union relations, and contract negotiations.
Before assuming his in-house role, Collin was a partner at Fisher Phillips representing employers in state and federal courts as well as before the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Review Commission, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Review Commission, and other state and federal regulatory agencies. His first-chair trial and arbitration experience and handling of numerous investigations, incidents, and litigation arising out of fatalities, significant injuries, property damage, and environmental issues benefited numerous firm clients.
“We are thrilled to welcome Collin back home to Fisher Phillips,” said Stephen Roppolo, Regional Managing Partner of the firm’s Houston office. “His recent in-house role coupled with his extensive safety and health litigation experience has made him such a well-rounded practitioner with a valuable perspective on handling everything from regulatory compliance and investigations to complex labor and employment disputes. Employers can turn to Collin to advise them on litigation avoidance strategies, but they also know they can turn to him if litigation is unavoidable and they need an experienced advocate in their corner.”
Prior to his initial stint at Fisher Phillips, Collin spent more than 10 years defending clients in cases alleging OSHA safety violations and provided clients with assistance during investigations and pre-litigation investigations arising out of catastrophic injuries, deaths, property loss claims, construction defects and equipment failures. He also advised clients in regulatory compliance before governmental agencies and served as trial counsel in both state and federal cases involving workers’ compensation and non-subscriber claims.
Collin earned his J.D. from the South Texas College of Law and his B.S. from Texas A&M University. Super Lawyers has named him among the top rated civil litigation attorneys in Houston, and, earlier in his career, he was among a small number of Texas attorneys to earn the distinction of “Rising Star.”
