ATTORNEY

Julia Bredrup, J.D.

Julia is a multi-faceted, strategic litigator who understands both the outside counsel and in-house legal perspective. She was most recently Associate General, Litigation and Regulatory at Snap Inc., where she oversaw the company’s most complex litigation. Before joining Snap, Julia was a litigation partner at King & Spalding LLP and spent a decade practicing at other prominent law firms. Immediately after graduating from Harvard Law School, Julia served as a judicial law clerk to the Hon. David O. Carter of the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Julia provides services across a broad range of litigation matters, from critical motions to expert work to trial preparation. 

When not working, Julia can be found watching sports (mainly youth sports played by her two elementary-school aged children), playing Jeopardy with her husband, and cuddling with her dog. Julia was raised in a family of musicians, but embarrassingly cannot play an instrument. Julia has recently decided to take up tennis, and she hopes that her dedication to improvement will eventually outweigh her lack of hand-eye coordination.
