Clients appreciate Julie’s ability to assess both the practical business implications and legal impact of a matter. They also value the way she recommends solutions that meet their objectives.

Julie is committed to providing thought leadership for her clients. She is an editor of, and frequent contributor to, MoFo’s Class Dismissed blog, where she provides insights on class-action and product–related issues affecting companies in the consumer arena. She has been recognized for her writing as a top author in the JD Supra Readers’ Choice Awards, 2016–2019.

Julie is also committed to pro bono service and diversity in the legal profession. While at Harvard Law School, she worked at the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau, a nonprofit law firm that provides free legal services. She has continued her pro bono work at MoFo, which has resulted in her being a regular recipient of the Wiley W. Manuel Award from the California State Bar for pro bono contributions. She co-chairs the firm’s Women’s Strategy Committee and has served on the Associates Steering Committee of Athena San Diego, an organization that promotes professional growth for women executives and rising managers in science and technology.

Julie brings an industry perspective to her work with MoFo. Before going to law school, she was a medicinal chemist at Pfizer, where she researched cancer drugs.

Beyond her impressive legal work, Julie has a life in the arts. She is a professional-level violinist who performs with chamber music groups in the San Diego area and has played with the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, Cambridge University Chamber Orchestra, and La Jolla Symphony.
