February 10, 2026 – Lawdragon’s Meghan Hemingway recently spoke with Elsberg Baker & Maruri partner Alexandra Sadinsky about high-stakes litigation, shaping the law, and building a collaborative trial boutique.
Sadinsky’s practice focuses on complex corporate and commercial disputes where the legal framework itself is often at stake. From Delaware Court of Chancery governance and M&A battles to fraud and trade secret litigation, she is known for precise, disciplined advocacy and careful judgment about which arguments move a case forward. As she explains, “Advocacy isn’t about saying everything you can – it’s about knowing what matters, what will persuade, and how to exercise judgment on behalf of clients whose businesses and futures are on the line.”
In the conversation, Alex reflected on her path from federal clerkships and a leading New York firm to Elsberg Baker & Maruri, where she found a trial-focused platform and a tightly collaborative culture. “EBM is a young firm – not just in its age but in its energy,” she said. “The lawyers here are ambitious and genuinely excited about building something exceptional together.” She points to the firm’s one-office model and shared sense of purpose as key drivers of both quality and results.
Her recent matters span expedited fraud litigation, trade secrets disputes, and headline-making corporate cases, including work connected to controlling stockholder transactions and closely watched merger fights. Across those engagements, Alex emphasizes preparation, precision, and courtroom credibility — and a culture that trains lawyers by doing. “A core part of our culture at EBM is giving junior lawyers meaningful trial roles early, reflecting a broader shift in client expectations toward lawyers who can perform in the courtroom, not just in discovery and motion practice.”
Alex also highlights the importance of mentorship and inclusive leadership in the profession. “Having a woman at the top of firm leadership sends an important signal about what’s possible and reinforces that women’s voices belong at the center of the conversation,” she noted, underscoring her commitment to developing the next generation of trial lawyers.
