Clients rely on Annie Amaral for her complex business litigation and advocacy skills to navigate through federal and state courts alike, both independently and where cases are filed simultaneously in both venues. Annie has practiced and prevailed at the trial and appellate levels in both systems, as well as in cases that are cross-venued. With each case she applies a mix of smart, aggressive advocacy and efficient work ethic to achieve optimal results for clients. Annie’s complex litigation practice includes banks and financial institutions, healthcare providers, industrial and land use companies, retail distributors, and solo entrepreneurs, to name a few. Her practice also includes defending employers against claims brought by current and former employees, as well as protecting and pursuing trade secret claims that are common in the employment context. Sensitive to the stress that litigation can impose on all business types, Annie uses her in-depth knowledge of how courts work to eliminate as much as possible the worrying that comes with being a litigant.
