Profile Honors & Affiliations Results and Expertise

Anthony is a seasoned litigation and business advisory attorney who focuses on solving complex legal problems so his clients can focus on running their businesses. His practice is grounded in a philosophy of ruthless pragmatism: identify the most direct path to resolution, identify leverage, and execute decisively. He efficiently solves legal problems and equips leadership teams to make confident decisions in high-pressure, high risk, situations.

For two-decades, Anthony has represented employers and businesses in high-stakes matters involving business litigation, management-side employment law, insurance disputes, real estate conflicts, and regulatory proceedings. He has obtained favorable jury verdicts, arbitration awards, appellate outcomes, and administrative decisions in challenging and complex cases. His litigation experience informs a proactive advisory practice focused on anticipating exposure, controlling risk, and resolving disputes efficiently before they disrupt operations.

While his primary expertise is management-side employment law — business disputes rarely stay confined to one area of law. Anthony leverages cross-disciplinary experience to deliver integrated solutions that align with his clients’ operational and financial objectives. His areas of expertise and experience include:

  • Employment law
  • Insurance Defense and Coverage
  • Business & Corporate Law, including corporate formation and governance
  • Complex Commercial and Business Litigation
  • Real Estate Litigation
  • Commercial Leasing and Property Management Disputes
  • Administrative and Appellate Litigation
  • Mediation and Arbitration
  • Medical Malpractice Advice and Litigation Strategy
  • Medical Board Administrative Actions
  • Healthcare Contracts, Regulatory Compliance, and Risk Management

His representative industries include healthcare systems and specialty providers (including in-home care, long-term care, specialty care, and clinics), hospitality companies, construction businesses, governments and municipalities, property management and real estate companies, and other professional service firms.

Beyond his practice, Anthony has served in leadership roles within the Oregon State Bar and the American Bar Association. He is a founding member of the Red Gala Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing opportunities and quality of life within the community.
