Cheyna Galloway

I am a dedicated labor and employment defense attorney specializing in complex wage and hour litigation. I have represented employers of all sizes, including Fortune 500 companies with a national presence, across a wide range of industries, including health care, finance, retail, technology, hospitality, and manufacturing. My litigation experience includes defending clients against claims brought in state and federal court, in arbitration, by administrative agencies (like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and similar local agencies, the Department of Labor, and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development), and in small claims court. A significant portion of my practice is spent defending clients against high-stakes, multi-plaintiff lawsuits—often class or collective actions—alleging systemic violations of labor laws, such as widespread misclassification of workers, improper time rounding, donning and doffing claims, off-the-clock work, and unpaid overtime claims. I am dedicated to helping clients avoid costly wage and hour claims like these, offering support through Fair Labor Standards Act classification audits, advising clients on commission and bonus plan structuring, assisting with wage and hour policy development and review, conducting timekeeping and payroll practice assessments, and performing multi-state compliance reviews for employers operating in multiple jurisdictions. My entire legal career has focused exclusively on labor and employment defense—beginning as early as law school where I served as a year-round intern for a national labor and employment defense firm. In addition to my wage and hour practice, I have regularly represented employers against claims brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and against similar state law claims. I have also assisted clients with workplace investigations, compliance trainings, alternative dispute resolution, and handbook reviews, among other employment-related efforts.
