Oliva Weber | Associate | Newport Beach

“After completing Ninth Circuit and district court clerkships, I wanted to go to a firm where I could continue working on interesting and complex issues with the same level and quality of mentorship that I had received during my clerkships. I also wanted to land at a place where I could be challenged (and trusted) with substantive responsibility, and at the same time receive the support I would need during the early stages of my career. Finally, but equally as important, I wanted to find a firm that encouraged and rewarded pro bono work as if it were billable work. Irell was a perfect fit for me in each of these areas. It checked all the boxes and also happened to be comprised of collegial, incredibly smart (and funny) attorneys and staff. I am very grateful to be part of the Irell family.”
