With over 15 years of government and private‑sector experience, he advises clients on managing risk, sharpening litigation strategy, and making sound judgments before and during litigation. His approach combines strategic focus with calm, reliable advocacy at every stage of a dispute.

Anuj assists clients with a broad spectrum of litigation challenges at the trial and appellate levels. Having clerked for judges in both state and federal courts, worked as a prosecutor and defense attorney, and represented clients in civil and criminal matters, he brings a comprehensive understanding of how cases are developed, evaluated, and decided.

Anuj has seen disputes from multiple vantage points, so he can offer practical, strategic counsel that helps clients anticipate challenges and advance their broader objectives.

Anuj dissects legal issues, analyzes precedent, and maps out how and why the law has developed as it has.

Clients can expect Anuj to serve as a thoughtful, engaged team member who brings both discipline and creativity to their matters. As he does for the law students he teaches as an adjunct professor, Anuj invests time into understanding each client’s unique business—how they operate, what drives their success, and where their pressures and opportunities truly lie. That insight allows Anuj to tailor his approach, whether that means crafting a litigation strategy that aligns with broader business goals, narrowing the legal issues to reduce disruption, or spotting opportunities to resolve disputes efficiently and advance his clients’ long‑term objectives.
