Philippa Ellis

Owen, Gleaton, Egan, Jones & Sweeney LLP

Philippa V. Ellis is an original partner of the firm. She has extensive trial experience as first chair, defending high stakes tort, product, commercial and insurance litigation. She leads the firm’s product liability team and has handled matters in federal and state courts, at the trial and appellate levels, and before administrative agencies.

One of her jury trials served to clarify the extent of the Georgia trial court’s discretion in determining whether the requisite standard has been met for scientific reliability and methodology challenges for an expert witness’s testing procedure. She is regional counsel for industrial equipment, mining equipment and automotive manufacturers, and is a member of the national trial team for a Fortune 500 corporation’s asbestos trials.

She credits her undergraduate business education degree as one of the most beneficial assets she takes into the courtroom as she is entrusted with teaching jurors complex concepts in an understandable manner. Philippa is the “go to” trusted adviser for corporations, business owners and individuals who find themselves embroiled in litigation and governmental investigations.

Philippa has been a frequent speaker on various product liability and trial strategy topics. She enjoys mentoring lawyers who wish to hone their skills as trial lawyers or as litigation strategists.

Her vast first chair jury trial expertise is shared with younger lawyers from across the nation when she serves as faculty for national trial academies. Philippa was selected as Director-Elect for the 2018 ABA-ABOTA Trial Academy, and Director for the 2019 ABA-ABOTA Trial Academy, held annually in Reno, Nevada.

She is a returning instructor for the annual Georgia Defense Lawyers Association’s Trial and Mediation Academy, and has served as instructor for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) Georgia Deposition Skills Program, in Atlanta, Georgia.
