Biography

Claudia Borsutzki is a partner in the firm's Thousand Oaks office. Her practice focuses on civil litigation and high-exposure matters, including transportation, products liability, toxic tort, habitability, subrogation, catastrophic injury, and medical malpractice cases.

Claudia obtained her law degree from the Westfalische Wilhelms University in Munster, Germany, in 2004. Thereafter, she completed her two-year legal traineeship at the Higher Regional Court in Hamm, Germany. In 2007, Claudia relocated to Los Angeles and began her legal career at a well-known defense litigation firm. She started her career as a paralegal, representing German clients in her role as German counsel, before successfully passing the California Bar Exam.

Afterward, she worked as in-house counsel for a third-party insurance administrator, where she burnished her litigation skills in defending residential and commercial property owners in premises liability, habitability, and discrimination claims. Claudia then proceeded to a medical malpractice firm where she defended healthcare providers, including skilled nursing facilities, residential care facilities, hospitals, physicians, and nurses, focusing on elder abuse, negligence, medical malpractice, and wrongful death. Most recently, Claudia gained valuable experience at a plaintiff’s firm focusing on habitability matters, providing her with insights and facets of the “other side of the aisle” which make her ability to defend similar cases stronger and much more efficient.

Claudia is licensed to practice in all California state courts, the United States District Court for the Central and Northern Districts of California, the United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, and all German courts.
