About Philip

Phil Miles’ breadth and depth in the labor and employment arena is evident whether he is in a client meeting, courtroom, classroom or online writing for his nationally recognized law blog. Equipped with an understanding of the far-reaching impact that legal matters have on a business and on the lives of those involved, Phil offers comprehensive counseling to help his clients pursue and achieve their goals. Phil’s labor and employment practice is diverse in both the types of clients he assists and in the matters he handles. Representing a wide-range of clients, from small businesses to large employers with thousands of employees, Phil has expertise in the entire spectrum of issues, including but not limited to employee policies and handbooks, contracts and restrictive covenants, unemployment compensation, wage and hour labor issues, compliance, Department of Labor investigations, OSHA matters, employment discrimination (Title VII, ADA, ADEA, PHRA), labor arbitration, and litigation in state and federal trial and appellate courts. Phil is adept at handling discrete matters, or serving as a long term advisor for his clients. In this role, Phil offers ongoing counseling on internal operations, such as training and proactive policy changes, and is also available to assist with everything from internal complaints to serving as lead litigation counsel should the need arise. As an astute litigator, Phil is also frequently enlisted to help in general civil litigation matters. Often these cases relate to business disputes, such as contract litigation or partnership disagreements, but they can also involve other general litigation issues and personal torts. Regardless of the type of case, Phil works collaboratively with his clients to assess the various legal strategies to ensure the most favorable outcome, whether it is dismissal via summary judgement, settlement, or ultimately via a judicial or jury verdict. The practice of law is not only Phil’s chosen career, but it is also his hobby. His interest in the law, and labor and employment specifically, led Phil to create an independent blog, Lawffice Space, featuring commentary on cases, current events, and other developments in the field. Phil’s blog has been nationally recognized by the American Bar Association Journal as a top 100 law blog. Phil is also proud to teach employment law at his alma mater, Penn State, in the School of Labor and Employment Relations.
