Brandie’s Story

Brandie Little has spent her career helping organizations navigate the legal challenges that come with managing people.

She began her legal career at O'Melveny & Myers, where she represented clients in complex commercial and employment litigation while developing a strong foundation in courtroom advocacy, discovery, and dispute resolution. During that time, she also built an active pro bono immigration practice representing asylum seekers and vulnerable immigrants, earning the firm's Pro Bono Attorney of the Year Award.

Brandie later joined World Vision as in-house counsel, advising one of the world's largest humanitarian organizations on employment law, litigation, governance, compliance, and global mobility. Supporting an organization with approximately 40,000 employees operating across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa gave her firsthand experience helping leaders navigate workforce issues across multiple legal systems and cultures.

Most recently, Brandie served as an attorney with the U.S. Department of Defense, evaluating claims involving the United States Navy, negotiating settlements, advising leadership, and helping improve legal operations through technology and process improvements. That experience strengthened her practical, disciplined approach to evaluating risk and resolving disputes efficiently.

Today, Brandie partners with founders, executive teams, and growing businesses as part of Unified CLO's Client Success Team, advising on employment law, workplace investigations, litigation, immigration, and workforce-related legal issues. She believes the best legal advice helps organizations support their people while protecting the business.

Beyond the Bar

Brandie rarely passes up an adventure. Whether she's exploring a new country, discovering a great local coffee shop, or saying yes to breakfast with hippos and crocodiles, she believes the best experiences often begin just outside your comfort zone.

Closer to home, she's a devoted dance mom who happily spends weekends cheering from the audience. She values the balance that comes from family, travel, and the occasional quiet retreat to recharge.

I think this fits the Unified CLO style well. It tells clients something about who Brandie is without feeling gimmicky, and it leaves them with a memorable image ("breakfast with hippos and crocodiles") that they'll likely remember.
