Gina Elliott
Gina is a partner at Bradley Bernstein Sands, where she represents clients in a broad range of litigation in California and Oregon state and federal courts. She represents companies of all sizes as well as individuals in business disputes, with a particular focus on trade secret, employee mobility, contract, and internal corporate governance matters. Whatever the subject matter, Gina builds a practical strategy with her clients, one that accounts for their broader business goals as well as the litigation itself. She has brought cases through trial and successfully argued appeals, but is equally at home in the discovery and motion practice in between.
Before joining BBS, Gina was a litigation associate at Munger, Tolles & Olson in Los Angeles. Prior to that, she clerked for Judge Matheson on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Salt Lake City.
Gina maintains an active pro bono practice, representing both individuals and non-profit organizations at trial and through amicus briefs on appeal in areas including immigration, disability, and constitutional law. Outside of work, she is engaged in local government as a volunteer member of her neighborhood council.
