About Laurie
Laurie Berger earned her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and went on to receive her J.D. from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco. Her legal education placed her in the center of California’s shifting environmental and regulatory landscape during formative years of study. The combination of a public university undergraduate experience and a professional law degree shaped the practical approach she would bring to practice.
After law school, Berger built a practice in the Bay Area. She is listed as a lawyer at Silicon Valley Law Group, where she has handled matters arising under state and federal environmental laws. Her work involves both regulatory questions and the procedural aspects of federal court practice. Sources of her subject-matter authority include long-running involvement in environmental law organizations and steady engagement with regional bar associations.
Berger’s engagement with professional groups spans decades. She is a member of the California Lawyers Association Environmental Law Section and has served on the California Lawyers Association Environmental Legislation Committee since 2000. She has maintained an active membership in the San Mateo County Bar Association since 2017. For a brief period she participated in Women in Environment, from 2019 to 2020. Those affiliations signal an ongoing interest in how environmental policy and legislation affect clients and communities.
On admissions, Berger is licensed to practice in California and is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District. Those credentials allow her to take matters into federal court in northern California and to advise clients on both state and federal regulatory pathways. Her federal admission complements her local bar involvement and underpins matters that require litigation or federal procedural work.
Colleagues describe Berger’s practice as steady and grounded in the technical and procedural demands of environmental matters. She combines committee work on legislation with client representation, often addressing rules, permits, and compliance questions. Her approach favors careful analysis of statutes and regulations, and practical steps clients can take when disputes or enforcement issues arise. Her current practice centers on environmental and regulatory matters at Silicon Valley Law Group.
