Julia has a unique combination of corporate startup experience and knowledge of labor and employment litigation. She began her career at leading Silicon Valley firm Gunderson Dettmer, advising technology companies on matters from formation to exit. She practiced employment law at prominent employment firm Outten & Golden, where she focused on gender discrimination and sexual harassment cases, and at employment boutique RED Law, where she served as the resident expert in disability and protected leave cases. Julia has also worked in-house at the Writers Guild of America West representing screenwriters in arbitrations against major Hollywood studios.

Julia is passionate about holistic health, and she understands the extent to which a stressful or discriminatory work environment can cause and worsen health issues. She has particular expertise in disability and protected leave cases.

Trained in emotional intelligence, healthy communication, and vipassana meditation, Julia takes a relational and trauma-informed approach to her work.

Julia is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (J.D., 2014) and the University of California, Los Angeles (B.A., 2009). She loves the redwoods, healthy cooking (especially from Danielle Walker’s cookbooks), writing, gardening, and female-centric fiction.
