Brittany McKinley is an Associate in the Los Angeles office of Manning Kass. She is a member of the Complex Litigation, Product Liability, and Special Investigations Unit / Insurance Fraud Litigation teams.

Ms. McKinley specializes in the handling of high exposure personal injury matters. In addition to her personal injury experience, she has represented companies across various industries, including financial institutions, private equity firms, hospitality companies, high net worth individuals, and strategic buyers, on a wide range of corporate transactions. She has experience conducting complex transactions including emerging growth and venture capital financings, joint ventures, corporate restructurings, corporate governance and mergers and acquisitions across a variety of industries including engineering, consulting and technologies.

Along with her corporate experience, Ms. McKinley has a significant and award-winning pro bono practice where she has represented refugees seeking asylum, nonprofit mental health organizations, assisted formerly incarcerated women with reentry matters, assisted individuals seeking clemency, obtained protective orders for women facing domestic violence, instructed black businesses on corporate governance and aided individuals in obtaining DACA renewals. She has a passion for community activism, human rights, and policy making that she attributes to her late grandfather, Ruckins McKinley, Jr.

Ms. McKinley received her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Loyola Marymount University. She received her Juris Doctor from the University of Chicago Law School where she participated in the International Humans Rights Clinic (IHRC) focusing on police accountability and reform. Her work took her as far as the United Kingdom, where she was able to interview both Civil Rights Activists and Police Chiefs across the country to find ways in which we can better train our officers, rebuild community trust, and bring reconciliation across the American political divide. The work she and her team published during that time was released during the George Floyd Protests in 2020, including their report Defending Dissent, which focused on the non-lethal use of force in assembly management.

Ms. McKinley is admitted to the California State Bar and the New York State Bar.
