About Tammi L.
Tammi L. Hill earned her J.D. from The University of Chicago Law School in 2012 after completing a B.S. in physics at Santa Clara University in 2003. The combination of a scientific undergraduate degree and legal training shaped the way she approaches technical and procedural questions. She went from a science curriculum to one of the nation’s more rigorous law programs and then into practice.
Her legal career includes time at Fenwick & West LLP. At Fenwick she joined colleagues who handle complex matters that often touch on technology and commercial disputes. The firm experience exposed her to federal-court procedure and the practical demands of litigating in multiple jurisdictions.
Hill is admitted to practice in California and in several federal courts. Her admitted jurisdictions include the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the Central District of California, and the Eastern District of Texas. Those admissions reflect work that spans local and national matters. She appears in district courts where counsel must manage both trial preparation and motion practice.
Her background in physics informs how she evaluates technical issues and prepares testimony or exhibits. She places a premium on clear, organized presentation of complex material. That approach shows up in briefs, declarations, and courtroom explanations. She favors straightforward explanation over technical jargon when addressing judges or opposing counsel.
Colleagues describe her as methodical and exacting in trial preparation. She spends time dissecting procedural rules and precedent to build arguments that stand up under scrutiny. Her work at Fenwick involved coordinating discovery, briefing dispositive motions, and preparing witnesses for depositions and hearings. Those tasks require attention to detail and an ability to translate complex subject matter into persuasive legal narratives.
Outside the courthouse she has maintained ties to both scientific and legal communities. Her undergraduate training continues to shape how she reads expert reports and evaluates the reliability of technical evidence. The law-school training provided a foundation in legal analysis that she applies to civil litigation tasks.
She practices law at Fenwick & West LLP and handles matters in the federal and state courts where she is admitted.
