Whitney Jones Roy is a trial lawyer who represents companies and business owners in complex disputes involving fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and control of businesses. With more than two decades of experience in state and federal courts, she is often called on when disputes become especially complex or high-stakes. Whitney builds cases with trial themes in mind from the outset and has taken jury trials to verdict.
Whitney represents clients in a wide range of business disputes, including shareholder and partnership conflicts, fraud claims, corporate governance disputes and other matters where multiple legal and business issues intersect. Her clients range from closely held and family-owned companies to multinational corporations.
Clients value Whitney’s solutions-oriented approach and her ability to distill complex disputes into clear, persuasive narratives for judges and juries. By investing time to understand each client’s business and objectives, she helps companies evaluate risk, resolve disputes efficiently and position cases effectively when litigation cannot be avoided.
Whitney also maintains a significant California Proposition 65 practice. She counsels companies on warning obligations and defends them in litigation alleging noncompliance, particularly in matters involving food and beverage and consumer products.
When cases proceed to trial, Whitney serves as first-chair counsel and continues to represent clients through the appellate process.
Outside the courtroom, Whitney leads Project GC, an annual one-day conference for women general counsel and aspiring in-house counsel focused on leadership, communication and building supportive professional networks.
