Thomas G. Mackey Named to LABJ's 2025 "Leader of Influence: Litigators and Trial Attorneys" List
LOS ANGELES, CA (July 14, 2025) – Nationwide employment law firm Jackson Lewis P.C. is pleased to announce Principal Thomas G. Mackey has been included in the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2025 Leader of Influence: Litigators & Trial Attorneys list. The annual award recognizes top litigators and trial attorneys in the Los Angeles region for their skill and dedication to their clients.
“Tom’s career is defined not only by his impressive courtroom victories, but also by the meticulous preparation that drives them,” said Nicky Jatana, Los Angeles office managing principal. “His disciplined approach heading to trial consistently lays the foundation for favorable outcomes, and that level of foresight consistently sets him apart. I’m thrilled to see his efforts recognized.”
Tom represents clients in all aspects of employment litigation, with a focus on trials and arbitrations. He has substantial jury trial experience in both state and federal courts and has handled a wide range of claims in arbitration. Tom also has deep experience with electronically stored information (ESI) and related litigation issues. He serves as the firm’s Southern California e-Discovery liaison, assisting clients with the identification, preservation and production of ESI in complex cases.
Tom has secured significant defense verdicts in high-stakes matters, including a 12-count bench trial involving wage and contract claims and a jury trial under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act. His successes span claims of wrongful termination, retaliation, wage and hour violations and discrimination based on race, disability and pregnancy, with multiple favorable outcomes across California courts and before the American Arbitration Association.
“I’m humbled to be named among this year’s honorees,” said Tom. “Employers in the Los Angeles region face some of the most complex challenges, and it’s a privilege to work with clients who trust us to handle their most high stakes matters. Seeing that trust reflected in the results we deliver is incredibly rewarding.”
Tom is a frequent speaker at bar associations throughout the region sharing insights drawn from his extensive trial experience. As a key member of the firm’s Trials and Appeals group, he also dedicates a significant portion of his practice to mentoring attorneys in trial advocacy.
Tom earned his J.D. from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco and his B.S. from California State University, Northridge.
