Judy M. Azizayad

Judy M. Azizayad is an Associate in the Los Angeles office of Murchison & Cumming, LLP, where she represents clients in general liability matters. She began her legal career at M&C as a Summer Associate, gaining early insight into the nuances of litigation, client interaction, and case management.

Judy graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Political Science: Public Law from the University of California, San Diego. Motivated by a strong desire to help others and solve complex problems, she saw the legal field as a meaningful way to make a lasting impact. Judy went on to earn her law degree from Chapman University’s Dale E. Fowler School of Law, where she was a member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Team and developed her skills in negotiation and analytical problem-solving.

Drawn to business and employment law, Judy remains eager to explore a broad range of legal practice areas. She clerked with the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office during her undergraduate studies and while in law school externed with a Beverly Hills litigation firm that represents clients in serious injury and tort cases.

Early in her academic journey, Judy worked as a camp counselor and after-school program leader at her former elementary school. Her background working with children in high-energy environments and growing up in a busy household sharpened her ability to stay composed under pressure, manage competing needs, and adapt quickly to dynamic situations. Those experiences continue to shape how she approaches her legal practice today.

Judy is fluent in Arabic and an active member of the Coptic Orthodox community, where she volunteers as a Sunday School teacher. Outside of the office, Judy enjoys spending time with her family and discovering new coffee shops across Los Angeles.
