Overview

A big-picture attorney who’s always focused on the client’s end goal, Anne represents clients in complex commercial and fiduciary disputes.

Anne’s practice focuses on complex business disputes, most often in the areas of insurance coverage and construction litigation. Her experience includes representation of both insurance carriers and policyholders in layering and allocation coverage issues under multiple insurance policies, bad faith claims, and environmental disputes. She thrives on the complexity of these cases within the sharp bounds of policies. As a construction attorney, Anne has successfully represented clients in both state and federal courts, as well as in arbitration and mediation, on cases involving breach of contract allegations.  

In addition to her focus on business clients, Anne also represents clients in matters of contested probate and trust administrations, will contests, allegations of undue influence or competency questions during the drafting of estate planning documents, and other controversies surrounding the making or administering of estate plans. Anne, who first pursued law in search of a people-driven career, found her natural empathy made her an excellent fit for counseling clients through these personal and emotional disputes. Anne’s fiduciary litigation cases are often deeply layered and intricately detailed, but her focus on the big picture dovetails perfectly: she always has her eye on how best to achieve a positive outcome, taking the approach that will best serve the client’s eventual goal.

Regardless of the matter, Anne sees litigation as simply solving problems—and she excels at that. Anne serves clients as a true business partner and strategic collaborator, whose focus goes beyond the single piece of litigation at hand to consider overall business goals. Her litigation plan is always built with these big-picture needs in mind, and she takes the legal approach most likely to meet the client’s long-term needs.

Outside the Office

As a Wisconsinite, Anne loves the great outdoors.

She and her family enjoy downhill skiing in the winter both at home and in Colorado, as well as time by the lake in the summer. Anne is at her happiest when simply spending time with her husband and daughter. The couple also have an energetic poodle, who keeps the family busy with plenty of walks.

When she has time away, Anne loves to travel. She thinks her favorite place ever visited may be Cape Town, South Africa, where she studied abroad, but she also loves the mountains of Colorado, and anywhere in Europe. She and her husband look forward to their daughter joining them on future trips.
