Mona L. Bauer

Mona Bauer has spent her legal career on the defense side of California civil litigation, representing insurers, businesses, and property owners in personal injury, premises liability, auto liability, landlord-tenant, and fraud-related matters. She joins Murchison & Cumming as Of Counsel in the Northern California office.

Mona has built her practice around identifying the dispositive issues in a case at the outset and leveraging them to bring matters to resolution in the earliest stages of litigation. Her experience includes time on a dedicated insurance fraud prevention team at Toschi Sidran Collins & Doyle, where the work required a sharp eye for inconsistency and a thorough command of the evidentiary record. That background informs how she approaches cases today, whether she is drafting motions, preparing for oral argument, or taking a matter through mediation or arbitration.

Mona earned her J.D. from John F. Kennedy Law School. Before law school, she studied Art History at Stephens College and continued her studies at Cambridge University. The analytical skills she developed there, including close reading and a precise focus on what the evidence demonstrates, translate directly to her work in litigation.

Outside the office, she travels internationally every year, drawn particularly to food and local culture in new places.
