About Ausra Ona
Ausra Ona Deluard trained at two Bay Area schools before entering private practice. She completed undergraduate study at Santa Clara University, earning science degrees, and later earned a Juris Doctor from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law. Those academic steps set the stage for a career in large-firm practice.
Her early years in the profession included time at Jones Day, where she joined as an associate in 2011. She worked alongside teams handling matters typical of national and international firms. The role gave her experience in the staffing, briefing, and client coordination that determine outcomes in complex engagements.
Deluard moved to Dentons and rose through the ranks. She became a partner in 2019. At Dentons she has taken on increased responsibility for client relationships and for supervising teams across multiple offices. Her path reflects steady progression within large, multidisciplinary firms.
She is admitted to practice in California and in New York. Those admissions have allowed her to work on matters that cross state lines and to advise clients with multijurisdictional needs. Colleagues describe her as practical and detail oriented; she is known for organizing workstreams and for managing resources on larger matters.
Outside the file work, she has maintained ties to professional circles in the years since first entering the profession. Her background in two different law schools and her experience at two national firms inform how she approaches client problems. She balances litigation and transactional pressures in the way many lawyers in big firms must, shaping strategies that account for the realities of corporate practice.
She currently practices at Dentons US LLP, where her practice focuses on client representation within the firm’s U.S. practice group.
