A Historic Partnership for Women in Law

After decades of running parallel legal careers, Harrison and Gallagher have brought their award-winning practices together in a strategic collaboration. Both are now of counsel to each other and share office space in Calabasas.

This new alignment means more support for survivors, stronger representation in high-stakes cases, and expanded mentorship for the next generation of women attorneys.

Two Trial Legends with a Shared Mission

  • Genie Harrison: Known for her groundbreaking victories in employment and sexual harassment law, including a $100 million settlement against Riot Games and an $8 million result in the Niantic case.

  • Maryann Gallagher: Revered for her mentorship and courtroom tenacity, including a recent $10 million verdict in the Odom v. L.A. Community College District case, and the landmark Bihun precedent validating MeToo evidence.

“Hell, yes,” Gallagher said, when Harrison asked if she’d join forces.

Mentorship & “Teaching Trials”

Both attorneys are committed to using their platform to train younger women trial lawyers. Citing Rule 3.93, which allows senior attorneys to guide associates in court, their upcoming trials will include rising stars like Mia Munro and others from both firms.

Cases That Changed the Game

Historic and recent case results include:

  • Doe v. Niantic — $8 million settlement + policy change

  • McCracken v. Riot Games — $100 million settlement

  • Odom v. LACCD — $10 million verdict

  • Bihun v. AT&T — Historic MeToo ruling

  • Williams v. Sysco — Upcoming whistleblower trial

A New Era of Collaboration

Harrison and Gallagher are more than just co-counsel—they’re co-creators of a practice model that fuses excellence, equality, and mentorship.

“We see it as a no-drama zone where our people can practice law, have families, and do business together.” — Maryann Gallagher
