Brittany N. DeJong is a Partner at Bartko Pavia LLP and a member of the Litigation Practice. She has been figuring out how to do hard things for as long as she can remember, and it shows. She is the kind of lawyer who sees everything, yields nothing, and fights for her clients with a loyalty that never wavers. In the high-stakes world of complex antitrust and unfair competition litigation, those are not small qualities. They are the whole game.
Brittany’s practice spans complex business litigation with a particular focus on antitrust and unfair competition matters, representing both plaintiffs and defendants at every stage. What sets her apart is a rare and highly specialized skill: the ability to work hand-in-hand with teams of leading economists, manage terabytes of documents and data, and translate that analytical complexity into clear, compelling legal strategy. In major antitrust litigation, this is not a supporting role. It is the work that wins cases.
Her judicial clerkship background gives her something most litigators spend careers trying to develop: a genuine insider’s understanding of how judges think. She served as a Research Attorney for the Honorable Peter Busch in the Law and Motion Department at the San Francisco Superior Court, and externed for the Honorable Susan Illston of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. When Brittany walks into a courtroom, she already knows what the judge is looking for.
Before joining Bartko Pavia, she litigated complex class actions on behalf of plaintiffs and handled multiparty litigation involving catastrophic property damage at a boutique trial firm. She built her legal career in the margins of a life that demanded a great deal of her — and she built it without compromise.
Brittany is a mother, and at Bartko Pavia, that is a point of pride. The firm believes that the best lawyers bring their whole lives to their work, and Brittany is living proof of what that looks like in practice.
Brittany holds a J.D. from Golden Gate University, School of Law, with Highest Honors (top 2%) and a B.S., with Honors, from the University of Phoenix.
