About Ha
Ha Chung approaches law in a pragmatic, detail-minded way. He combines technical training and courtroom preparation with steady day-to-day practice. The result is an associate who prefers clear analysis over flourish, and careful drafting over grand statements.
He earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2014. After several years, he returned to school and completed a Juris Doctor at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law in 2020. That period of study sharpened his research and writing skills and exposed him to both doctrinal and practical coursework.
Following law school, Chung joined Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP as an associate. In that role he has taken on responsibilities common to firm associates: legal research, drafting briefs and contracts, preparing discovery, and supporting more senior attorneys in hearings and negotiations. He is part of teams that manage client matters from intake through resolution. Colleagues describe him as methodical; he tends to break complex problems into manageable parts and work through them systematically.
Chung’s early career at the firm has emphasized collaborative work. He routinely coordinates with partners, paralegals and outside counsel. That work has required close attention to deadlines and a steady hand on document production and courtroom preparation. He also assists in fact development and witness preparation when matters proceed toward trial or arbitration.
Outside the office, Chung’s path to law reflects an extended engagement with analytical subjects. His undergraduate degree from UCLA provided a foundation in quantitative reasoning, and his time at USC Gould reinforced legal reasoning and procedure. Those elements combine in day-to-day practice where precise analysis and clear written work matter as much as oral advocacy.
Chung’s professional record is anchored in his position at Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP. He continues to develop his practice through firm assignments and client work, building experience across the matters entrusted to him. He currently practices at Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP, handling a broad range of matters for the firm's clients.
