Julia A. Clayton
Emeryville, CA Business Law Attorney
Business, Administrative and Communications
University of California, Berkeley School of Law
During my nearly two-decade career with the California Attorney General's Office, I conducted numerous corporate fraud investigations under the California False Claims Act. I also have extensive experience representing health and welfare agencies – including the California Department of Health Care Services, Department of Public Health, and Department of State Hospitals – in state and federal court.
I want to help small and medium-sized business navigate the challenges of government investigations and regulatory compliance. I also understand how costly and disruptive California Invasion of Privacy ("CIPA") cases can be for B2B enterprises, and can provide tailored, cost-effective representation.
