Overview

Elisabeth L. White is a partner with White Brenner LLP whose practice focuses on issues related to healthcare law, administrative law, and government affairs. As a registered lobbyist, Elisabeth has assisted a wide variety of both public agencies and private companies. Her experience as an attorney sets her apart as a lobbyist, providing her with a thorough understanding into the nuances of legislation and the language of a bill.

Prior to joining White Brenner LLP, Elisabeth lobbied on behalf of Costco Wholesale, the California Construction Trucking Association, West Basin Municipal Water District, the City of La Canada Flintridge, and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Elisabeth represented the City of Inglewood and advocated on their behalf before the California State Legislature. A significant project of impact involved working with Southern California water agencies and other Southern California cities to successfully oppose the City and its residents from being charged additional money for the water they were receiving.

Apart from lobbying, Elisabeth also advises clients on issues related to healthcare compliance, State licensing and certification, Medicare certification, Medicare and Medi-Cal enrollment and complex healthcare agreements. She also advises clients on, among other things, required governmental filings (e.g., Statement of Economic Interests) and political law issues including committee and campaign reporting.

Elisabeth has represented large hospital systems, foundations and physician groups. She has also worked in an in-house setting as a law clerk for both UC Davis Health System and Dignity Health. As a legislative advocate, she advanced the interests and priorities of healthcare organizations, Southern California cities, large corporations and special interest associations before the State Legislature. Elisabeth is a member of the American Health Lawyers Association and the California Society for Health Care Attorneys. She was named a 2015, 2016 and 2017 Rising Star by Super Lawyers Magazine in the areas of Government Relations, State, Local & Municipal Law, and Health Care.

If not a lawyer… I would be a children’s clothing designer. My twin daughters are very different individuals. I love to see them express themselves in their own unique way. I enjoy putting together looks for them that are cute, coordinate and express their unique personalities.
