Amalia "Mollie" Reiss

A strategic and formidable advocate in complex litigation

Our company faced a daunting, multi-faceted legal challenge that involved navigating a dense regulatory environment while simultaneously preparing for potential appellate review. We needed counsel who could see the entire chessboard, not just the immediate move. In Mollie Reiss, we found exactly that. Her deep understanding of administrative law and regulatory procedure was immediately apparent; she deftly guided us through agency submissions with a clarity that demystified a complex process. Simultaneously, her appellate practice expertise informed every strategic decision in the underlying commercial litigation, ensuring our position was not just defensible at trial but built to withstand appeal. While at Gibson Dunn, her collaborative approach meant we benefited from the firm's vast resources, yet she was always our direct, hands-on point of contact. The result was a highly favorable settlement that completely protected our interests and avoided protracted litigation. Mollie’s recognition in these distinct but interconnected practice areas is well-deserved. She combines meticulous preparation with pragmatic, business-oriented advice. I would not hesitate to engage her for any matter requiring sophisticated legal strategy across regulatory and litigation arenas.
