M. Megan O’Malley

M. Megan O’Malley is a principal and founding member of O’Malley & Madden, P.C. She focuses her practice on civil rights and employment law. She is committed to advancing workplace equality and has successfully litigated hundreds of cases involving discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, as well as representing whistleblowers in retaliation claims.

She has extensive trial experience in federal and state courts, as well as administrative agencies. Furthermore, she has successfully argued cases before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the Illinois Appellate Court on behalf of employees. Beyond litigation, Megan advises individuals on career transitions, employment contracts, and restrictive covenants, ensuring their rights and interests are protected.

Megan also completed a Mediation Skills Training program at Northwestern University and is available to serve as a mediator, assisting other parties in resolving their disputes. She is a firm believer that where parties can come together to have a meaningful dialogue, they are often able to resolve a dispute outside of litigation on mutually agreeable terms.

When not practicing law, you can find Megan running on the beautiful lake path, enjoying one of Chicago’s many wonderful parks or festivals, or spending time with her husband and two super amazing daughters.
