Nine reasons why it’s unlikely that any court will overturn your employer’s mandatory vaccine policy.

Yesterday, I read two more decisions (here and here) from federal judges evaluating mandatory vaccination policies. Both involved attempts by plaintiffs to obtain a preliminary injunction to avoid getting the jab. One involved a student at a public university; the other involved many healthcare workers at a local hospital. Neither was successful — not even close.

Here are nine reasons the lawsuits failed and why future efforts will likely be just as unsuccessful.

WE DID IT!!!
My firm, FisherBroyles, has entered the Am Law 200, the ranking of the largest 200 law firms in the United States

FisherBroyles, LLP, which added more partners in 2020 than nearly all of the Am Law 200 firms, is the first distributed law firm to crack the list.

The press has been loving us something vicious (here, here, here, and here). And so have lateral partners. What's the attraction (besides me, of course)?

The firm is recession-proof. Attorneys continue to get paid exactly what they earn. Indeed, our partners always keep 80% of the revenue from work that they bring in and perform.
There are no sharp elbows, star chambers, or billable-hour requirements (among other highlights).
Me! (Duh.)

We are so much different than other large law firms. And, yes, FisherBroyles, the first and largest distributed model law firm in the world, is still hiring!

If you have AmLaw200 experience and a significant portable book of business, we should really talk. You can reach me confidentially. Text or Signal: (202) 441-1424.
