Veritas Law, PC was founded on a straightforward belief: every client deserves an attorney who is experienced, honest, and genuinely invested in their success.

Natalia Ebersole

Founder, Veritas Law, PC

I founded Veritas Law, PC because I believe every client deserves an attorney who is genuinely invested in their success: someone who explains things clearly, treats them fairly, and brings real experience to every matter. That belief shapes everything about how this firm works.


I bring more than 20 years of legal and business experience, including practice in California since 2019. My practice began in corporate and transactional law, where I advised on complex mergers and acquisitions, commercial transactions, and business matters across multiple industries and countries. In California, I have worked with businesses and individuals on commercial transactions, corporate matters, real estate, and business acquisitions and sales.


In addition to my law degree, I hold a Master of Laws in International Commercial Law and Arbitration from Pepperdine University School of Law and a Master of Business Administration. That combination of business education and hands-on transactional experience means Veritas Law, PC is built on something beyond legal training: an understanding of the goals behind every client matter, not just the legal question in front of it.


Public sector work added a perspective that is difficult to acquire any other way. As Deputy County Counsel for Shasta County and later as Assistant City Attorney and Interim City Attorney for the City of Redding, I managed the full range of legal work that cities and counties face every day, including as in-house legal counsel for Redding Electric Utility advising on energy procurement, utility agreements, and public finance. More recently, I have been part of one of California's largest groundwater rights adjudications, working alongside water agencies and special districts across the state.



I founded Veritas Law, PC to bring this depth of experience directly to businesses, nonprofits, and public entities in Northern California, through a model built on clear communication, honest advice, and fees that clients can plan around.

OUR APPROACH

How We Work

Legal needs are not one-size-fits-all. Some organizations need a trusted legal partner across all their operations. Others need experienced counsel for a specific transaction or project. Others have existing legal teams and need specialized support in a particular area. Veritas Law, PC is structured to work in all these ways, and to make sure that whatever the engagement looks like, the client always knows what to expect.

01

Ongoing Legal Partnership as Outside General Counsel

Many businesses, nonprofits, and public entities need consistent, knowledgeable legal support across their operations but cannot justify the cost or overhead of a full-time in-house attorney. Others are at a stage where legal issues are arising regularly enough that obtaining representation only when something goes wrong is becoming expensive and is reactive instead of being proactive. 


As your outside general counsel, Veritas Law, PC becomes a dedicated part of your team. We learn your organization, understand your goals, and stay ahead of issues before they become problems. Over time, the relationship deepens: the legal advice gets sharper, the response time gets faster, and the value compounds because we already know your priorities, your history, your contracts, and your risk profile.


This model works well for businesses, nonprofits, municipalities, and special districts that want comprehensive legal support at a predictable cost.


Ongoing legal partnership entails:

  • A dedicated attorney who knows your organization from the inside
  • Legal support across all areas of your operations as needs arise
  • Proactive guidance that keeps you ahead of compliance and risks
  • Predictable monthly or retainer-based fee arrangements
  • Direct access to your attorney whenever you need it

02

Project and Transaction Counsel

Sometimes the client has a specific matter that needs to be handled well: a business acquisition, a complex contract, an energy agreement, a public financing matter, or a hearing before a board or agency. Veritas Law, PC works with clients on a project or transaction basis, bringing the same depth of experience and attention to a defined engagement as to any long-term relationship. Whether the matter is straightforward or highly complex, you will work directly with Natalia throughout.


Counsel for Projects and Transactions entails:

  • A clear scope of work defined at the outset
  • Experienced counsel handling your matter from beginning to end
  • Fee arrangements discussed and agreed upon at the outset, so the client knows what to expect
  • Direct communication throughout

03

Special Counsel and Specialized Support

Some organizations already have legal counsel, whether an in-house attorney, a city attorney, or an existing outside firm, but need specialized expertise or additional capacity for a specific project or in a specific area. Veritas Law, PC works comfortably alongside existing legal teams, stepping in where specialized knowledge or support is needed without disrupting the client’s established representation. 


This is particularly common in municipal and energy law, where the depth of experience required for a specific matter, such as an energy procurement agreement, a Joint Powers Authority restructuring, or a water rights adjudication, goes beyond what a general counsel is expected to handle.


Special Counsel and Specialized Support entails:

  • Seamless collaboration with your existing legal team or counsel
  • Specialized expertise brought in for a specific matter or practice area
  • Clear boundaries on scope so there is no duplication or confusion
  • Fee arrangements structured around the specific engagement

04

What Every Client Can Count On

Regardless of how we work together, some things never change. You work directly with Natalia Ebersole on every matter from the first conversation to the final deliverable. Fees are discussed openly from the start with no surprises. Legal advice provided by Veritas Law, PC is grounded in an understanding of your goals, not just the legal questions in front of you. Every matter, large or small, receives the same standard of care.

    Veritas Law, PC works with businesses, nonprofit organizations, municipalities, special districts, joint powers authorities, and public utilities.
