Position

Shawn Ledingham is a steadfast advocate for his clients and his community, demonstrating unwavering commitment to every person and organization he represents. His experience spans a diverse range of entities, including publicly traded multibillion-dollar companies, leading sports leagues, preeminent law firms, universities, and individual pro bono clients.

Few companies or individuals will know what it means to have their day in court, as most cases are dismissed before a jury is ever sworn in, due to judicial rulings or economic considerations. Shawn has a strong track record of securing early victories through motion practice and successfully positioning difficult cases for resolution.

But when a trial becomes inevitable, Shawn’s clients rely on his thorough understanding of trial evidence, his quick adaptability to any set of facts, and his practical appreciation of what resonates with a jury.

As the nature of existentially threatening litigation has shifted over the years, Shawn has consistently defended his clients against emerging threats. For example, with the recent proliferation of public antitrust enforcement and private litigation, he has represented clients in industries ranging from sports, to agriculture, to pharmaceuticals, against claims of anticompetitive conduct. Shawn has also developed substantial experience in toxic tort, product liability and environmental litigation as these cases have increasingly evolved into bet-the-company lawsuits and trials.

Amidst the changing trends, one constant is the need for attorneys to advocate for the unheard voices in our communities. Shawn embodies this principle through his service on the boards of Public Counsel and the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s Counsel for Justice, addressing the unmet legal needs of Los Angeles’s most vulnerable. Within Proskauer, he is a member of the firm’s Pro Bono Committee and maintains a robust pro bono practice. In furtherance of his commitment to the rule of law by an independent judiciary, Shawn is a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association’s Judicial Appointments Committee, where he evaluates nominees to fill judicial vacancies.
