Alissa Hecht Gardenswartz ’92

Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck announced that Alissa Gardenswartz '92 was one of two shareholders named co-chairs of the firm’s State Attorneys General practice group.

An accomplished litigator and respected former regulator, Gardenswartz helps clients navigate inquiries from state attorneys general and federal authorities through her extensive legal knowledge and relationships with government officials across the country. She formerly served as the deputy attorney general for consumer protection in the Colorado Office of the Attorney General, where she oversaw all of the office’s consumer protection and antitrust enforcement activities, including multistate actions, and litigated several high-profile false advertising, financial fraud and antitrust cases.

Brownstein’s State Attorneys General Group provides comprehensive, bipartisan political and legal services to companies and other organizations navigating the complex and constantly evolving arena of state attorneys general enforcement. The team develops and executes strategic plans focused both on proactively building relationships across party lines with the goal of avoiding problems and on responding to requests for information or subpoenas in a manner most conducive to resolving legal disputes efficiently and effectively. Perhaps most importantly, the firm works to keep clients ahead of the curve through continuous efforts to gather information and political intelligence on current topics and upcoming enforcement trends.

Gardenswartz received her law degree from the University of Chicago in 1996. She earned her B.A. in communication studies.
