Her experience includes briefing and arguing cases in state and federal court, and managing cases from initial demand through summary judgment, resolution, and appeal.
Ashlee has experience litigating a broad range of complex litigation matters, including business disputes involving professional negligence, insurance broker negligence, breach of contract, tortious interference, fraud, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, and breach of fiduciary duties. Ashlee’s litigation experience also includes representing employers, including executive-level defendants, in navigating restrictive covenant, whistleblower, and retaliation claims.
