Shennan Harris

I'm an employment attorney who helps employers — from startups to Fortune 500 companies — navigate the full spectrum of federal, state, and local employment law. My practice spans three areas: day-to-day counseling, M&A advisory, and litigation. On the counseling side, I advise on hiring, termination, wage and hour compliance, FMLA, ADA, federal contractor requirements, and employment policies. I have deep expertise in multi-state employment issues, including the rapidly evolving landscape of state and local paid sick leave laws, wage and hour requirements, and jurisdiction-specific compliance obligations — making me a go-to resource for employers operating across multiple states. I am also at the forefront of AI and employment law, advising employers on the legal and compliance implications of using AI in hiring, performance management, and workforce decisions — an area where federal, state, and local regulators are increasingly active. I also serve as a subject matter expert on employment matters in M&A transactions, and I draft and negotiate all types of employment-related contracts — executive agreements, restrictive covenants, separation agreements, and contractor agreements. When disputes arise, I represent clients in state and federal courts, appellate proceedings, and before administrative agencies. I bring creative, practical thinking to tough problems — always grounded in my clients' business goals and risk tolerance.
