About Linda Selig
Linda Selig Blonsley has built a varied career that crosses law, nonprofit leadership and business. She holds a B.A. in International Relations from the University of California, Davis (1974), a J.D. from Pepperdine University School of Law (1979) and an M.B.A. from the University of Utah (2006). Those academic steps set the stage for work in courts, firms, and nonprofit organizations.
Her legal career began in the federal bankruptcy court where she served as a judicial law clerk in 1979. She moved into private practice in the 1980s and became a partner at Selig & Oelsner in 1984. Over time her work broadened beyond litigation to include roles that drew on both legal and organizational skills. In the late 1990s she worked in fundraising and grant management as a planned giving officer for the American Cancer Society’s Utah chapter and later as principal of The Grant Shoppe.
In the 2000s Blonsley took on executive and advisory positions. She served as assistant state director for the Utah Small Business Development Center in 2005 and then as executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association, Utah Chapter, in 2007. Those positions paired operational leadership with legal and regulatory issues that often affect nonprofits and small enterprises. She returned to a law office role as of counsel at Rossi Law Offices in 2010 and established Blonsley Law as a lawyer and shareholder in 2012.
Outside of private practice she has taught as an adjunct professor at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2016. Her bar admissions include the State of California and several federal jurisdictions: the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Eastern and Central Districts of California and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. She is a current member of both the San Luis Obispo County Women Lawyers Association and the San Luis Obispo County Bar Association.
Colleagues and clients encounter an attorney who has moved between courtrooms, nonprofit boards and classroom instruction. That mix of experiences informs the work she does today at Blonsley Law. She practices at Blonsley Law and handles matters in the federal and state courts where she is admitted while advising clients on business and nonprofit issues.
