Anna-Rose Mathieson

Practice Areas

The Daily Journal calls Anna-Rose Mathieson, a partner with the Complex Appellate Litigation Group, “one of the West Coast’s leading appellate litigators.”

She is a certified appellate specialist and a fellow of the California Academy of Appellate Lawyers, has been named one of the Top Women Attorneys in California three times, taught advanced appellate writing at Stanford Law School, and was a law clerk to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the U.S. Supreme Court. She specializes in providing thoughtful, strategic advice in a wide range of high-stakes cases, and has won major victories for her clients.

Anna-Rose began her career at two large law firms, Williams & Connolly and O’Melveny & Myers, then joined CALG’s team of appellate experts to provide the firm’s boutique service to her clients. Her appeals have covered topics as varied as contracts, employment law, jurisdiction, antitrust, family law, products liability, and constitutional law. She understands cutting-edge intellectual property issues and handles significant copyright, trademark, and trade secret appeals, and she knows how to litigate at the highest level, appearing often in the U.S. and California Supreme Courts. She is also known for her robust amicus practice and is frequently featured in the press.

Anna-Rose graduated first in her class from the University of Michigan Law School. She won more than a dozen awards in law school, served as Articles Editor for the Michigan Law Review, and organized the Law Review’s annual symposium. After law school she clerked for Chief Judge Michael Boudin of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and then for Justice Ginsburg.
