Stephanie Beauregard Donovan
Stephanie represents public sector employers in all aspects of labor relations and collective bargaining matters, including the development and implementation of personnel policies, strategic business plans and legislative initiatives. She has considerable experience representing employers at interest arbitration and advising clients regarding reductions-in-force, health care plan design, pension reform and contract interpretation issues.
In May 2000, Stephanie joined the firm as an associate. After four years with the firm, she joined PepsiAmericas, Inc. as labor counsel where she successfully negotiated collective bargaining agreements on the company’s behalf and defended the company’s interests in numerous grievance arbitrations. Thereafter, Stephanie was hired by the general counsel of the Chicago Transit Authority to serve as her chief labor negotiator and advisor regarding labor policy matters. In August 2006, Stephanie returned to the firm to assist in its representation of the City of Chicago, Chicago Board of Education, Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, and the Cook County Assessor’s Office, as well as other clients.
During law school, she was a managing editor of The Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution, a published author and a member of the Labor Law Moot Court Team.
