Rob Coursey, Esq. SHRM-SCP, SPHR

Rob’s been an employment lawyer for over 25 years. He spent his first 10 years at the top-tier employment law firm of Fisher Phillips, where he defended companies in employment-related litigation. He then spent 11 years at Employers Council, where he focused on keeping employers out of the courtroom. In 2021, Rob started his own company—Modern Age Employment Law—where he counsels, represents, and trains employers who care about treating their employees right.

Rob has an English degree from George Mason University in Virginia, and a law degree, with honors, from Georgia State University College of Law in Atlanta.

Rob’s licensed to practice law in Utah and Georgia. He’s also a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) and SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP).

One of Rob’s favorite things about being his own boss is that it allows him to give significant pro bono time to various nonprofit and civic organizations, including serving on the Boards of Salt Lake Society for Human Resource Management and several Utah Bar committees. 

Beyond being a lawyer and business owner, Rob’s a father of four, a music lover who regularly travels around the country for concerts, an OK drummer who still dreams of being a rock star, a daily meditator and certified meditation teacher, and can be found moving his body in some way as often as possible.
