Mallory Gitt Webster Counsel

Mallory Webster represents Fortune 500 and startup clients facing novel and challenging legal problems. She defends companies in class-action, commercial, and consumer disputes involving consumer protection and unfair competition claims, dark patterns in marketing, pricing and promotions, false advertising, privacy claims, enforcement of companies’ terms of service, defective products, breach of contract, and business torts.

Mallory has deep experience in the emerging area of mass arbitration, a strategy deployed by plaintiffs’ firms to file hundreds or thousands of individual arbitration demands to exert disproportionate settlement pressure on companies. She also counsels on updates to companies’ dispute resolution terms, strategies to stave off mass arbitration, and best practices for obtaining consumer agreement to terms of service.

Mallory is an exceptional communicator who provides clients outstanding work product and insightful guidance. She is routinely acknowledged by clients, colleagues, and co-counsel for her compelling writing, persuasive oral advocacy, and responsiveness. At every stage of litigation, Mallory focuses on her clients’ business, values, and goals to inform strategy. She identifies early opportunities to reduce her clients’ exposure and resolve disputes where possible, but when necessary, she efficiently manages all phases of litigation from discovery to summary judgment to trial.

Mallory is an emerging leader in the legal profession. She was recognized as One to Watch for Class Actions—Defendants in 2024 by Best Lawyers, selected as a Washington Rising Star in Business Litigation in 2022 and 2023 by Super Lawyers Magazine, and featured in the Puget Sound Business Journal Next Generation in Law series in 2023. Mallory was also selected to participate in the 2024 cohort of Leadership Tomorrow, a program connecting leaders across sectors, and she serves on the Local Rules Committee of the Federal Bar Association for the Western District of Washington.
