Sarah Jorgensen is one of the Firm’s founding partners. With more than 25 years of experience, Sarah is an accomplished trial lawyer focusing on complex commercial litigation. She brings her analytical skills to bear on a range of both trial and appellate matters in commercial, complex tort, antitrust, intellectual property, and energy litigation.
Sarah plays a leading role in the Firm’s energy practice, and works with companies and associations on issues relating to the natural gas industry, indoor air quality, and clean energy. Earning the title of Attorney of the Year 2024 at the Southeastern Legal Awards by Law.com and the Daily Report, she has also been recognized among the Lawdragon 500 Leading Litigators in America and Thomson Reuters Stand-Out Lawyers. Clients praise her work as “very nimble, responsive, and insightful.” Law360 also appointed Sarah to its 2024 Georgia Editorial Advisory Board, marking her second year serving on the board.
Most recently, Sarah secured a precedent-setting victory on behalf of the CRA in the “gas ban on stoves” case against the City of Berkeley. The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court’s ruling and held that Berkeley’s ban on natural gas hookups is preempted by federal law and therefore invalid. The win earned the RJLF team The AmLaw Litigation Daily’s “Litigator of the Week” runners-up recognition, and the case garnered extensive national attention from major news outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, and Reuters, among others.
Sarah served as a clerk for the U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and for the Honorable Lawrence H. Silberman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. She also served as a trial lawyer with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice. She began her career at Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd & Evans in Washington, D.C., and at Textron, Inc. as in-house legal counsel.
