Who is Angie Khawly?
She/Her/Ella Founding Attorney
Angie Khawly is the Founding Attorney of Khawly Law PLLC, a firm she established in July 2023 with a vision to provide exceptional legal representation while fostering a healthy, flexible work-life balance for BIPOC attorneys in a post-pandemic virtual world. Her firm delivers swift, dedicated counsel, leveraging generative AI for legal research, document automation, and case strategy to provide cost-effective, high-quality legal solutions.
Angie’s passion for law derived at the young age of eleven while listening to her father and uncles sit around the dinner table discussing Latin American politics and political upheaval in South America. As a first generation Peruvian-American raised in Brentwood, New York, a disenfranchised community in Long Island, these dinner conversations inspired Angie’s commitment to advocacy and justice.
Before founding Khawly Law PLLC, Angie spent a decade as a litigator, securing successful outcomes in complex civil litigation, including business dissolution, contractual disputes, property disputes, transportation, utility, and construction litigation. She is known for her compassionate yet strategic approach, keen ability to assess risk, and commitment to achieving cost-effective, low-risk solutions for her clients. Angie has successfully tried a bench trial in NYC Civil Court and argued before the Appellate Division, Second Department.
Throughout her career, she has honed expertise in risk assessment and risk transfer, compliance management, client-focused communication, negotiation, oral advocacy, and legal writing. Her ability to navigate high-exposure litigation while adhering to client and company guidelines makes her a respected leader in her field.
Angie earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Women’s Studies from SUNY Albany in 2009 and her Juris Doctor from Florida Coastal School of Law in 2013, graduating with Pro Bono Honors. She is an active member of the Brooklyn Bar Association and serves as Chair of the Young Lawyers Section. In 2024, she was recognized as a New York Metro Business Litigation Super Lawyers Rising Star, an honor awarded to only 2.5% of attorneys in the region.
Angie was born in Brooklyn, New York and is currently raising her three children along with her village in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. She is actively involved in her Block Association, spearheading annual children-focused events to strengthen her community.
