Former Washington State Asst. AG Noelle Chung Joins RJLF

Noelle Lea Chung, former Washington State Assistant Attorney General, has joined RJLF's Silicon Valley office. As a seasoned litigator focusing on complex commercial, intellectual property, and environmental litigation, Noelle’s diverse background enables her to tackle intricate legal challenges with a nuanced understanding of regulatory frameworks, policy development, and high-stakes litigation.

Before joining RJLF, Noelle spent six years as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Washington, litigating for the Attorney General, Department of Health, and Department of Fish & Wildlife. During this time, Noelle played a pivotal role in her client’s administration of the state’s public health (Charity Care) laws, specifically ensuring access to and financial assistance for medically necessary hospital health care. She was instrumental as lead counsel in defending the Department of Health in a lawsuit by the Washington State Hospital Association, which was voluntarily dismissed, marking a rare and notable outcome.

Prior to her public service, Noelle worked at several law firms, handling commercial, intellectual property, environmental, and class action litigation. She was part of a team representing San Diego Gas and Electric in a $300 million contract dispute involving a wind farm in Montana, addressing complex energy contracts and federal wildlife preservation laws. This case involved proceedings in multiple state courts and appeals concerning privilege issues.

As a Stanford Law Fellow on a full tuition scholarship, Noelle earned her J.D. in 2010 from Stanford Law School, where she worked as an advanced student advocate in the SLS International Humanitarian Law Clinic.
