Career

Federal antitrust trial attorney Anna Neill focuses on bringing claims for large retail pharmacy chains against brand and generic pharmaceutical companies that engage in anticompetitive practices designed to thwart generic competition and drive up prescription drug costs.

She has represented retailer plaintiffs in well over a dozen pharmaceutical reverse-payment/“pay-for-delay” cases, pursuing brand drug manufacturers and their potential generic drug competitors who enter into “pay-for-delay” conspiracies to postpone the introduction of a competing generic drug.

Anna was a member of the Miami Chapter of the ACLU of Florida from 2016 until 2023, serving as a member of the chapter’s legal panel and as chapter secretary from 2021 through 2023. She also has served as a vice-chair of the Health Care & Pharmaceuticals Committee of the Antitrust Section of the ABA since 2022.

Anna has an active pro bono practice. Currently, she is representing authors and schoolchildren in federal litigation against certain school boards in Florida in cases alleging First Amendment violations related to those boards’ removal of children’s book And Tango Makes Three from school libraries based on its positive LGBTQ+ viewpoint. She also previously worked as a cooperating attorney with the ACLU in federal litigation to protect the rights of individuals experiencing homelessness.

Before joining the firm, she worked for a large, international law firm primarily practicing intellectual property litigation.
