Travis Smith is an assertive and pragmatic litigator who’s not afraid to think outside the box in order to meet his clients’ needs. In addition to experience in international, environmental, and tort law, Travis has substantial experience in complex representative actions in the labor and employment field, which he has litigated in state and federal courts throughout the United States.

Travis earned his J.D. from the University of California, Hastings College of the law and his L.L.M. from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London. At SOAS, Travis published an article entitled “The Durability of Truth and Reconciliation in Peru: a Perspective from 2018,” which looked back at the accomplishments and legacy of the truth and reconciliation commission formed to investigate the violence that roiled Peru between 1980 and 2000. While in London, he wrote his dissertation on informal grievance mechanisms in the World Bank organizations and subsequently collaborated with international NGOs to develop strategies for sanctioning international human rights offenders.
