Julia Nordlinger
Ms. Nordlinger’s practice emphasizes high-stakes civil defense, with a particular passion for complex insurance disputes and bad faith litigation. With a background spanning plaintiff-side litigation, appellate advocacy, and even family law, she’s seen the law from almost every angle — which means she doesn’t just anticipate the other side’s next move; she’s likely made it herself.
That broad experience has taught her to defend the whole client, not just the immediate case. Ms. Nordlinger understands that the true cost of litigation rarely stops at the docket: it can consume leadership’s time, crowd out strategic priorities, and introduce reputational risk that outlasts any court date. She keeps one eye on the case file and the other on the business behind it. The law may be complex, but the goal is simple: getting you back to business.
