As a partner in the Product Liability Litigation as well as the Class Action and Complex Litigation practice groups, Anitra has a national practice that spans various industries including automotive, consumer goods, distribution, insurance, pharmaceutical, and technology. Dedicated to understanding long-term business goals, she keeps client values top of mind while solving problems creatively and efficiently in individual, class action and multi-district litigation lawsuits.   Anitra’s experiences include defending consumer protection, contract, personal injury, product liability, tort, trade secrets, unfair trade practice, warranty, and wrongful death disputes. She also prosecutes non-compete agreements, resolves pre-litigation disputes and counsels clients on special non-litigation business projects. She leads small teams that manage individual cases and co-leads large teams that manage dockets. She has been peer-recognized through Best Lawyers, Florida Super Lawyers, and Florida Trend listings. In her national class action and class opt out litigation practice, she has secured successful results coast to coast. For example, she recently developed and led the litigation strategy and argued the winning motion that disposed of a high exposure automotive class action in Florida, and an insurance class action in California. At the same time, Anitra also serves as part of the national counsel leadership team in defending aggregated class action opt out matters, where she has helped secure a string of wins in disposing of fraud-based claims and in helping pioneer creative arbitration strategies that have led to favorable disposition of large numbers of cases.
