About Ellie
Ellie Pittman completed her legal studies at the University of Richmond School of Law, earning a J.D. in 2021 after receiving a B.A. from the University of Delaware in 2018. She entered law school after an undergraduate program that emphasized critical thinking and research. Those years set the tone for a methodical approach to legal work.
Her professional career began immediately after graduation. In 2021 she joined Waldman & Associates, PLLC as an associate lawyer. That entry-level firm position exposed her to the routines of private practice and the pace of client-facing legal work. In 2022 she moved to Livesay & Myers, P.C., where she continued in an associate role. The switch came early in her career and represented a step into a new office environment and a different set of colleagues and expectations.
Across both positions she developed the practical skills typical of a young associate in a private firm. Her work has involved legal research, drafting pleadings and memos, and assisting on case preparation. She has handled client communications and collaborated with senior attorneys on strategy and filings. Those responsibilities have shaped a pragmatic approach to litigation and transactional matters alike, even as she continues to refine which areas of law she will pursue long term.
Licensed to practice in Virginia, Pittman builds on her classroom training with hands-on experience in the courts and in firm practice. Her law school years included coursework that emphasized procedural rules and evidence, which she has applied in the day-to-day tasks of associate work. Peers describe her as meticulous in document preparation and steady under the deadlines that come with firm caseloads.
At Livesay & Myers, P.C. she remains in an associate capacity and continues to take on responsibilities typical for attorneys at her stage of practice. She balances research and drafting with attention to client needs and coordination with colleagues. Her current practice is based at Livesay & Myers, P.C., where she continues her work as an associate.
