Fisher & Phillips LLP, a national labor and employment law firm, opened an office in Washington, DC, this past summer. The office is led by Dennis C. Cuneo, former senior vice president of Toyota Motor North America (Toyota) and most recently Counsel with Arent Fox LLP. Cuneo joined Fisher & Phillips as a partner.

Seyfarth Shaw LLP announced that Dana D. Howells has joined its Labor & Employment department as of counsel. Howells, who is based in Los Angeles, also recently became chair of the Labor & Employment section of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. Howells is the third addition to Seyfarth's Labor & Employment practice. In August, the firm brought on new partners Marjorie R. Culver in New York and Eric M. Steinert in San Francisco.

Polsinelli Shughart PC welcomed attorney Sean R. Gallagher to the firm as shareholder to practice in the firm's Business Litigation, and Labor and Employment practice groups. With more than 20 years of courtroom experience, Gallagher has handled cases involving a broad range of complex commercial and corporate litigation matters for plaintiffs and defendants.

Employment litigator Jennifer Stocker has joined Barnes & Thornburg's Grand Rapids, MI, office as a partner in the firm's Labor & Employment Law department. Formerly a partner and chair of the diversity team at Varnum, Riddering, Schmidt & Howlett in Grand Rapids, Stocker concentrates her practice on the defense of employment litigation filed against employers in state, federal and appellate courts, as well as the defense of charges before state and federal administrative agencies.

Philadelphia-based, union-side labor and employment boutique Willig Williams & Davidson will now be known in Baltimore as Willig Williams Davidson & Singleton. The firm merged its practice with that of Maryland-based, labor and employment solo attorney John M. Singleton on Sept. 1, officially adding his surname to its local brand. The move also means the firm now has an office in Owings Mills, MD, a suburb of Baltimore.
