Ellen Holloman is a Partner in Cadwalader’s Global Litigation Group. She focuses her practice on representing financial institutions, corporations and individuals in civil litigation, arbitrations and at trial, and in related regulatory proceedings and internal investigations.
Ellen’s work often involves fiercely advocating for a “who’s who” in business and in the public eye in both litigation and in highly confidential matters. Ellen most recently represented an international spirits company in a highly-publicized fight with its former celebrity spokesperson and the guardian of Wendy Williams.
Ellen is active in pro bono engagements and committed to community service. Among her many accomplishments, she worked with the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund to author an amicus curiae brief to the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of several elite private research universities in Fisher v. University of Texas, where her work was cited by the Court.
The New York City Bar Association honored Ellen with the Thurgood Marshall Award in recognition of her representation of post-conviction inmates who are under sentence of capital punishment, and she has received the Award for Conspicuous Service from the New York County Lawyers Association.
