Career

Chicago shareholder, Anne Larson, concentrates her practice on high stakes litigation such as Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) class actions, Title VII disparate treatment, disparate impact and retaliation claims, and Fair Labor Standards Act collective actions. Anne’s broad litigation experience has made her a go-to counselor and risk manager for clients facing tough C-Suite shake-ups, executive misconduct and terminations, internal harassment investigations, threatened disability claims and accommodation requests, and Family Medical Leave Act issues. This allows companies to focus on running their businesses while avoiding or reducing the time drain and expense of litigation.

Anne served as Law Clerk to the Honorable George W. Lindberg, United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and participated in several high-profile criminal prosecutions while clerking.
