With a practice focused on products liability, health care, and complex litigation, Anderson Bailey has developed substantial experience in sophisticated, high-profile matters. Recent cases include coordinated litigation over alleged childhood lead exposure, in which the defendants prevailed at summary judgment in a series of decisions — including two precedential Seventh Circuit opinions — ending more than a decade of litigation by approximately 150 individual claimants; a precedential appellate decision directing dismissal of public nuisance cases over alleged toxic exposure; a successful bench trial that resulted in statewide injunctive relief against state regulators in a matter concerning federal health care regulations; a successful arbitration of breach-of-contract claims against a health insurer that resulted in the recovery of $188 million in unpaid hospital reimbursements; and several ongoing defenses of class action and alleged toxic exposure cases. Anderson also has recently helped secure favorable results for clients facing antitrust claims in the health care and automotive industries.
On case teams, Anderson typically helps lead case strategy and coordinates motion practice and briefing efforts. He has successfully briefed and argued dispositive motions, upheld favorable judgments on appeal, and obtained reversals of unfavorable judgments.
Anderson also has had notable pro bono achievements. He successfully led a novel due process challenge to Pennsylvania's procedures for post-conviction DNA testing; successfully argued an en banc appeal to obtain a new trial for a defendant who spent four decades in prison; and negotiated a settlement valued at $2 million for a client alleging abuse by prison staff.
