Sean Elman

Sean Elman is an associate in the Litigation Department at White and Williams LLP in Wilmington, Delaware. He focuses on complex civil litigation, product liability, and general liability matters for insurers, self-insured companies, manufacturers, and technology businesses. His work includes cases in Delaware courts and administrative agencies, where he develops practical strategies for resolving disputes while considering litigation cost, procedural requirements, and the business needs of the client.

Sean earned a J.D. cum laude from Widener University Delaware Law School in 2022 and a B.S. from Pennsylvania State University in 2017. During law school, he worked as a legal intern with the Veterans’ Law Clinic, assisting veterans with compensation claims submitted to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. His education and clinic experience support careful legal research, writing, and client-focused litigation work.

Sean’s representative matters include obtaining dismissal of a negligence claim against a technology company based on a binding arbitration agreement and securing dismissal of a fabric manufacturer from a Delaware action for lack of personal jurisdiction. Before joining White and Williams, he worked as a personal injury attorney handling personal injury and workers’ compensation matters. That background adds claimant-side experience to his current defense-focused civil litigation practice.

Sean Elman is admitted in Delaware and before the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. He is a member of the Delaware State Bar Association and Defense Counsel of Delaware. His practice combines product liability, general liability, and complex civil litigation with practical attention to jurisdiction, arbitration, case strategy, and efficient dispute resolution for businesses and insurers operating in Delaware.
