Maryann Gallagher has practiced plaintiff-side litigation for more than 30 years and has focused on employment litigation for the past 20. She came to the practice after a decade of litigating catastrophic personal injury cases. As she explains, “Employment cases often involve not only financial losses, but also issues of dignity, fairness and professional identity.”
Her recent work includes her representation of five truck drivers. The case was litigated for more than five and a half years and tried to verdict in Santa Monica from Nov. 17, 2025 through Jan. 30, 2026. Williams v. Sysco Corporation, 20STCV18692 (L.A. Super. Ct., filed May 15, 2020).
Sysco, one of the nation’s largest food distributors, was represented by Morgan Lewis, which deployed six attorneys at trial, including trial specialist Nancy Patterson. Gallagher and her trial team — Martin Aarons, Shannon Ward, and Mia Munro — represented the drivers.
