Travis W. Vance Regional Managing Partner Fisher Phillips, Charlotte

Travis W. Vance has built a sophisticated legal defense practice focused on OSHA and workplace safety matters over his 18-year legal career. Growing up in a blue-collar family, he developed comfort in this field through helping everyday people stay safe and assert their rights against government infringement.

Vance seeks to help clients before and when OSHA arrives, rather than only after citations are issued. His practice emphasizes avoiding citations entirely. This proactive strategy, combined with significant trial experience, assists clients at every litigation stage.

Among memorable cases, Vance handled OSHA inspections at a Florida destination and a national museum complex in Washington. He managed a recent matter for a supermarket chain where 27 citations were vacated after uncovering OSHA shredding handwritten notes.

Vance maintains bar admissions in five states and federal courts, including the Supreme Court. He anticipates artificial intelligence will play a growing role in workplace safety monitoring and OSHA enforcement.
