Sachi Schuricht

Senior Associate

サンフランシスコ

Sachi is an experienced litigator who represents crypto and fintech clients in high-stakes disputes. A former appellate clerk and practitioner, Sachi thinks deeply about her clients’ most challenging commercial problems and crafts persuasive legal arguments to resolve them—whether through litigation or alternative dispute resolution. Sachi’s complex matters regularly involve parallel civil, criminal, and regulatory proceedings—and she thrives when success requires collaboration and strategic thinking across multiple lines of defense and attack.

Sachi’s practice focuses on high-value disputes for crypto and fintech clients, although her litigation experience spans a wide range of subject areas—including constitutional law, intellectual property and trade secrets, employment law, class actions, and white collar defense. In addition to her experience as an appellate litigator, Sachi has advised on trial strategy and managed the legal briefing for a high-profile criminal fraud trial, argued dispositive motions in state and federal trial courts, and prepared witnesses for regulatory investigations and international arbitration proceedings. Sachi also has an active pro bono practice focused on criminal defense, racial justice, and immigration matters.

Prior to joining Orrick, Sachi clerked for Justice Leondra Kruger of the California Supreme Court and Judge Kenneth Ripple of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. She also served as a lecturer in Entertainment Law for the Department of Film and Media at the University of California, Berkeley. Sachi graduated order of the coif from the University of Michigan Law School, where she served as an Executive Editor of the Michigan Law Review. Before law school, Sachi worked in documentary film production; she received the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship for her work in the same field.
