Patrick Collishaw

I am an associate in the Labor & Employment Department at Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP. My role involves representing employers in a variety of labor and employment issues such as wage-and-hour disputes, wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, workplace privacy, unionization, and collective bargaining. Additionally, I assist with litigation at all stages, including discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation. I pride myself on being a responsive and detail-oriented advocate, dedicated to understanding my clients' objectives and providing timely, practical guidance that is tailored to their specific needs. Previously, I served as a legal intern at the Public Contracting Institute in Washington, DC. There, I advised on labor and employment obligations for government contractors and supported accredited training programs for government contracting professionals. During my time in law school, I worked as a Research Assistant for Professor Cheryl Kettler in the GW Law Fundamentals of Lawyering Research Department. My responsibilities included conducting legal research on discrimination, equity, and inclusion initiatives. I also held the position of editor for the George Washington Journal of Energy and Environmental Law. Furthermore, I interned with the in-house legal department at GT’s Living Foods. In this role, I focused on labor and employment compliance and litigation for an international corporation with over 1,500 employees and more than $300 million in annual revenue.
