Alexis Gamliel is licensed to practice law in the State of California.

Alexis Gamliel is the Founder and Principal Trial Attorney of Gamliel Law, an elite litigation firm focusing on employment matters, as well as personal injury and wrongful death cases. Equipped with deep litigation experience, Alexis dedicates her craft to the fight for justice for California consumers and employees. In her employment practice, Alexis handles a diverse array of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination matters. As a women’s rights advocate, Alexis maintains a particular affinity for representing clients in pregnancy discrimination, sex and gender discrimination, and sexual harassment cases. She takes pride in giving her clients light and hope in some of their darkest days.

 

Combining discerning focus with real compassion, Alexis gives each case the thoughtful attention it deserves. She applies meticulous performance to attain justice for those who have been wronged, and her results speak for themselves. For example, Alexis’s first jury trial resulted in a seven-figure verdict after she argued for and obtained substantial punitive damages. Since then, Alexis has continued to try cases and advocate for her clients in and out of the courtroom. In recognition of her work and reputation in the legal community, Alexis was recently included on the following prestigious lists: “Up-and-Coming 100: 2024 Southern California Rising Stars” and “Up-and-Coming 50: 2024 Women Southern California Rising Stars.”

 

Alexis is committed to giving back to the community, and she highly values building relationships. As a leader in the legal arena, Alexis serves on the Board of Directors for the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC), a statewide professional organization with thousands of members. Over the years, she has served as a dedicated member of CAOC, Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA), and the American Association for Justice (AAJ).

 

Born in Los Angeles and raised in Northern California, Alexis graduated with Honors from UCLA with a B.A. in Global Studies, and then spent the following two years living in Tel Aviv, Israel and working in business consulting. She then earned her J.D. at Loyola Law School where she served as the President of the Consumer Law Society (now, the Trial Lawyers Association) and President of the Jewish Law Students Association. Upon graduating from Loyola Law School, Alexis was selected by her peers, professors, and deans as the recipient of the distinguished Alumni Association Award. Alexis is also a proud alumna of Loyola Law School’s Byrne Trial Advocacy Team, a nationally ranked competitive trial team through which she received intensive, individualized training in all aspects of trial work.

 

As a thought leader in the legal field, Alexis is a sought-after speaker and author. She has been a featured speaker and moderator at numerous legal conferences and events across the state, and her written work has been published in widely circulated legal publications, including CAALA’s Advocate Magazine. Alexis also co-hosts the So Stipulated ™ podcast, alongside an employment defense attorney. As a podcast hosted by two lawyers on opposite side of “the V,” the show captures spirited debate, healthy banter, and agreements (where possible).

 

When Alexis is not fighting for justice, she can be found spending quality time with her husband,
Amir, and their two young children, Ella and Adam; sprinting uphill in her favorite HIIT class;
sipping a cappuccino at a local café; or scoping out a new dinner spot in Los Angeles with friends.

For someone who launched a law firm shortly after giving birth to her first child, few things scare Alexis. Through her work, she is committed to creating a better, safer, and more just society.
