Victoria Powell focuses her practice on appellate and complex trial litigation. Her litigation experience includes products liability law, class actions, multidistrict litigation, and regulatory litigation against government entities. She has been a member of products liability trial teams and has argued cases in state appellate courts.

Before joining Jones Day, Victoria served as an Assistant Attorney General in the Georgia Solicitor General's Office, where she represented the state in high-stakes appeals and multistate litigation. This included a landmark sovereign immunity case before the Georgia Supreme Court (Lathrop v. Deal) and a challenge brought by a coalition of states to the 2015 Waters of the United States Rule, which resulted in the states successfully obtaining an injunction against the federal government.
