Barnes & Thornburg Adds Labor & Employment Litigator In Atlanta

Barnes & Thornburg has added Raanon Gal as partner in the firm’s Labor and Employment Department in Atlanta. Gal’s move follows on the heels of the Austin Bersinger addition to the Atlanta office in April.

Also a litigator, Gal has handled cases involving the misappropriation of trade secrets, noncompete agreements, and employment/business torts in front of federal courts, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and district courts across Georgia. Additionally, Gal provides proactive risk management counsel to clients, and has drafted numerous employee handbooks, executive employment agreements, and employer policies.

Gal is a thought leader in the Georgia market and also lectures on matters such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, FMLA, sexual harassment avoidance, and record retention requirements.

Gal earned his J.D. from Vanderbilt University Law School and his B.A. from the University of Florida.
