BACKGROUND

Founding Story

Gallenberg PC was founded by Rosa I. Vigil-Gallenberg, Esq. as a boutique, high-end employment law firm representing California’s executives, senior professionals, and highly compensated employees in sophisticated workplace disputes. Ms. Vigil-Gallenberg was admitted to the California Bar in 2007 and has approximately 19 years of legal practice, focused primarily on employment law. She built Gallenberg PC around plaintiff-side employment litigation for high-achieving professionals — including Pregnancy Discrimination, Executive Compensation disputes, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and retaliation — facing significant workplace issues at large employers.

Growth Journey

What began as a Burbank-based solo practice has grown into a boutique firm with meeting locations in downtown Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, in addition to the main Burbank office. The firm has resolved multi-million-dollar employment class actions, established a recognized reputation in California’s Sexual harassment and Pregnancy Discrimination practices, and built a national Spanish-language media presence through regular appearances on CNN en Español and Univision.

Key Milestones

• 2007 — Rosa I. Vigil-Gallenberg admitted to the California State Bar (Bar No. 251872) on her first attempt
• Subsequent admissions to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and the Northern District of California
• Founding of Gallenberg PC as a California professional law corporation positioned as a boutique high-end employment practice
• $4.4 million overtime class action settlement

Current Position

The firm’s clients frequently work for Fortune 500 companies, publicly traded corporations, major healthcare systems, financial institutions, and venture-backed or established technology companies
