“I am thrilled to join the exceptional team of trial lawyers at Boies Schiller Flexner. I grew up in the Silicon Valley, as the child of Vietnamese refugees, raised by two visionaries who established amazing careers in tech despite not having command of the English language when they arrived. This is like coming full circle for me. As a Bay Area native, I grew up in a culture of opportunity, immense possibility, and innovation. Many of the country’s leading companies have already entrusted Boies Schiller Flexner to help successfully address their most business-critical issues, from intellectual property to high stakes commercial disputes. I am extremely honored at having been given the opportunity by Boies Schiller Flexner in further leading and establishing its reach in Silicon Valley,” Ta said.

Ta received her B.A. summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California, Los Angeles, and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Berkeley Law).
