Elgart Fleurmont & Command LLP founding partners Courtney Elgart, Jean Ralph Fleurmont and Stephanie Command

Who We Are

Courtney Elgart and Jean Ralph (“JR”) Fleurmont met as first-year students in the same section at Georgetown Law and quickly became close friends. After graduation, both went on to federal clerkships, as did Stephanie Command after Cornell Law School. Between the three of us, we clerked for six federal judges, on the Second and Fourth Circuits and in the District of Delaware, the District of Columbia, and the Western District of New York. We then built our practices at Williams & Connolly, White & Case, and Perkins Coie, litigating for companies, political organizations, and individuals in some of the most closely watched matters of the past decade.

Courtney and Stephanie worked side by side in Perkins Coie’s Political Law Group. Through the 2020 general election, they litigated dozens of matters together in state and federal courts across the country, many on expedited schedules, at trial and on appeal.

Courtney joined Sullivan & Triggs in 2021 and brought Stephanie and JR to the firm in the years that followed. There, the three of us litigated as a team. Courtney served as co-lead counsel, with JR and Stephanie as key members of the team, for the creator and executive producers of The Walking Dead in their case against AMC, which settled in 2026 for $120 million. Together we also won a multi-million-dollar award for a hotel owner in a domestic arbitration. In an international arbitration, we defeated every claim against a technology company and recovered a multi-million-dollar award on its counterclaim.

We founded Elgart Fleurmont & Command in 2026 to keep doing that work together. We handle trials and appeals, domestic and international arbitration, commercial litigation, entertainment and First Amendment disputes, election law, and criminal defense and civil rights matters.

Every client gets the three of us: partners who have tried cases side by side and know what works. We combine a trusted network of vendors and specialists with modern legal technology, so you get the reach of a larger firm without the overhead. We stay accountable for every piece of work, so the judgment on your matter is always ours.

All three of us are admitted to practice in California and the District of Columbia. Courtney is also admitted in Massachusetts, and Stephanie in New York. We are also admitted to several federal courts.
