Owen Mooney has been a part of Bullivant Houser since 2014.  Strong in writing and research, he is often the go-to attorney for analyzing, briefing, and arguing obscure and challenging issues, especially for matters on appeal.  In being that go-to attorney, Owen has gotten hard-fought wins at Washington’s appellate courts and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Methodical and measured in his decision making, Owen is valued for his ability to spot issues, generate creative solutions, and get results in litigation that can be difficult to achieve. Indeed, he has successfully defended insurers in lawsuits regarding contractual and extra-contractual liability as part of Bullivant’s insurance law group.

Before joining Bullivant Houser, Owen clerked for The Honorable Nancy Saitta of the Nevada Supreme Court.  There, his analysis of complex legal issues included civil and criminal procedure, constitutional rights, parentage, premises liability, and class action litigation.

As a former public high school teacher in Brooklyn, NY involved in Teach for America, Owen gained skills that he applies today. Through honed presentation and pedagogical skills, he can distill and impart complicated subject matter to help others understand and feel empowered. His career in teaching instilled an ability to see the big picture and design a plan that aligns with the end goal.

Owen volunteers for Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, organizations that advocate for gun reform and reducing gun violence.
