About Olivia A. Samowitz

I’m a lawyer with over 10 years of experience working in-house, helping businesses navigate highly regulated industries, such as med tech and banking, while supporting their goals. I enjoy working closely with multiple teams, which gives me the chance to learn from different perspectives and better understand the business. This helps me identify and manage legal risks early on.I focus on finding practical solutions that balance legal needs with business realities. I’m proactive, work independently, and use good judgment to know when to escalate issues.I also value the opportunity to work with people from diverse backgrounds, as I believe that diversity—whether in nationality, gender, or experience—helps us solve problems more creatively and better understand the challenges we face.
