Biography
Alex Chemerinsky leverages behind-the-scenes experience at all stages of litigation to help bring winning arguments on behalf of GMSR clients.
Before joining GMSR, Alex was a law clerk to federal district court and federal appellate court judges. During his clerkships, Alex drafted orders and opinions in major civil cases brought before the District of Arizona and the Ninth and Tenth Circuits. Prior to law school, Alex saw litigation from an administrative perspective while working in the clerk’s office of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
Alex is a graduate of Harvard Law School. In his free time, Alex likes to write and speak about developing legal issues. His publications have appeared in the Oxford University Press, North Carolina Law Review, Tulsa Law Review, Los Angeles Times, and Bloomberg Law.
When Alex isn’t untangling complex legal questions, he enjoys skiing and snowboarding (which he thinks he does quite well), and surfing (which he knows he doesn’t).

EchoSpan, Inc. v. Medallia, Inc. (9th Cir. Oct. 31, 2025, No. 24-4751) 2025 WL 3046753
Reinstated $25.7 million jury verdict that district court had reduced to zero
A federal jury unanimously found that GMSR’s client’s competitor willfully and maliciously appropriated its trade secret and awarded GMSR’s client $11.7 million in unjust enrichment damages plus $14 million in punitive damages. But the district court granted the defendant’s motion for judgment as a matter of law on damages and slashed the jury’s verdict from $25.7 million to zero. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit reversed and directed the district court to fully reinstate the $25.7 million verdict.
