Ellen advises a range of clients facing government investigations and enforcement actions, employee, whistleblower and other high-stake litigation matters that affect reputation and valuation. Ellen also has an active practice advising non-profit organizations, independent schools and universities, and she has a number of pro bono clients. As a former government attorney, Ellen works closely with clients, in-house and outside counsel to ensure that all communications are informed by, and in support of, legal strategy. She recognizes that legal concerns are paramount and carefully balances those interests with clients’ reputational imperatives. Recent and representative assignments include a major cryptocurrency exchange and its former CEO in connection with DOJ and OFAC enforcement actions, a public figure who litigated against the former and now current President of the United States, a public interest law firm in connection with Supreme Court litigation, the former General Counsel of an international technology company indicted for FCPA violations, a medical device company charged with FCA violations, an electric vehicle manufacturer in connection with employee litigation and other labor issues, and a biotech company in connection with IP litigation.
