    Alexandria Elliott is a senior associate in Orrick's Sacramento office, representing employers across a broad spectrum of workplace disputes and helping clients solve problems before they arise.

    Known for a strategic and pragmatic approach, Alexandria collaborates with clients to resolve high-risk matters at the earliest opportunity and with the least business disruption. When early resolution isn't possible, Alexandria is a skilled advocate who fights for her clients every step of the way. Alexandria is valued by her clients for her ability to balance defense strategies with business-minded solutions. Alexandria has successfully defended clients in trial and arbitration and helps clients with all types of employment matters, including whistleblower retaliation, discrimination, harassment, failure to accommodate, FMLA and CFRA claims, breach of employment contract, and equal pay claims. When she's not litigating, Alexandria enjoys partnering with clients to set them up for success through thoughtful advice and counsel.

    Alexandria maintains an active pro bono case load and recently won a prisoner appeal before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

    Prior to joining Orrick, Alexandria worked as a litigation associate in Kirkland & Ellis's San Francisco office. Before that, Alexandria was a law clerk for the Honorable Bobby R.
