Joseph Levy

Some of Joseph’s recent successes include:

• Defeating Nike's $15 million claims at trial against NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. Joseph helped lead the oral argument and briefing process during trial, including argument on motions to amend, motions in limine, jury instructions, and a directed verdict motion.

• Defeating a motion to add judgment debtors, which would have held clients personally liable for the debts of a company. At oral argument, Joseph successfully convinced the district court to reverse course on its tentative ruling and reject the motion.

• Achieving reversal in the California Court of Appeals of a trade secret misappropriation claim, where Joseph briefed the argument that would convince the court to reverse.

Previously, Joseph served as a law clerk for the Honorable David M. Ebel at the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado. In this role, he drafted bench memoranda and opinions for a variety of civil and criminal appeals, helped prepare Judge Ebel for oral arguments, and managed various administrative motions.

Before clerking at the Tenth Circuit, Joseph worked as an associate at the esteemed Amlaw 10 firm WilmerHale in Palo Alto, California. During his time there, he represented clients in various civil matters, including a trade secret dispute, a civil RICO class action, multiple securities class actions, a tribal law dispute, and a corporate management dispute. In this role, he drafted a range of briefs for various clients, including petitions for certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States, petitions for review to the California Supreme Court, state-level appellate briefs, pleading motions, discovery motions, and amicus briefs to multiple federal courts.

Joseph achieved his J.D. from New York University School of Law, cum laude. Joseph was a fellow at the NYU School of Law, Institute of Judicial Administration, during his time in law school.
