Meet Your Presenters:
Kevin Burns is an associate in the Denver office of Fisher Phillips and is a member of the firm’s Employee Defection and Trade Secrets practice group.

These cases involve claims concerning covenants not to compete, non-solicitation and non-disclosure clauses, employee raiding, the Economic Espionage Act (EEA), and state trade secrets and unfair competition statutes. He has also successfully defended employers in matters involving claims of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on race, gender, age, disability, and national origin, as well as claims arising under state and federal wage and hour laws.
Kevin has represented clients in a variety of industries, including Fortune 100 organizations, securities brokerage firms, national retailers, health systems, and national staffing agencies. Kevin was recently selected for inclusion in Colorado Super Lawyers – Rising Stars. He also serves on the Executive Council of the Colorado Bar Association, Young Lawyers Division.
Adam Brown is an associate in the Denver office of Fisher Phillips. His practice involves representing and advising employers in a wide array of labor and employment matters.

He has also assisted in representing clients in front of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD), the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE), and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Adam spends a considerable amount of time defending employers against discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and workplace tort claims brought by current and former employees in federal and state court. He is also often involved in litigation arising out of employee movement between competing entities, including work to enforce restrictive covenant agreements and to protect trade secrets and other confidential business information. Traditional labor law is also part of Adam’s practice, including representing clients in connection with collective bargaining negotiations, labor arbitrations and grievance hearings, unfair labor practice charges, and union avoidance campaigns. Adam also counsels employers on wage and hour issues, and has experience representing employers in both single plaintiff and collective action cases arising under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage payment laws.
