Fox Rothschild congratulates Steven P. Gallagher, who was recognized among the Los Angeles Business Journal’s “Leaders of Influence: Labor & Employment Attorneys.” The special supplement recognizes the “leading employment attorneys and experts” who are “the very best labor and employment attorneys in the region."

"These are the lawyers you want in your corner in court,” the publication said.  

Gallagher is noted in the publication for handling his clients' complex litigation in their "highest value cases." He represents a variety of Fortune 50 clients, which he has successfully defended in class actions, Private Attorneys General Act actions and Fair Labor Standards Act collective actions. He also works with companies to correct hard-to-spot time and pay errors to prevent future liability, often rewriting payroll coding himself.

He represents clients in proceedings before agencies such as the Department of Industrial Relations, Department of Labor Standards Enforcement, Department of Labor, Civil Rights Department and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

A thought leader on California employment law, Gallagher co-authored Doing Business in California: A Guide for Employers, which addresses the distinct challenges that arise with differing regulations between state and federal law. He was recently tapped to prepare LexisNexis Practical Guidance®, which teaches other lawyers how to defend certain complex litigation. He is a frequent contributor to the firm’s California Employment Law blog, which discusses legal challenges faced by employers, including class actions, wage and hour, discrimination, harassment and privacy issues.
