Anthony is a litigator who primarily defends clients in premises liability, products liability, and construction defect cases. He also has extensive experience with general commercial liability, including breach of contract, noncompete, trademark infringement, employment discrimination, civil rights, and shareholder dispute cases. He is equally comfortable representing clients in court and advising them on adopting strategies that can allow them to avoid litigation altogether.
Before joining Cohen Vaughan, Anthony worked in a wide range of different environments, from a small start-up law firm to a large international law firm. During this time, he has represented many different types of clients, from individuals to companies operating all over the world. In addition, Anthony spent some time in the public sector, working for both the United States Department of Labor and the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Before enrolling in law school, Anthony enjoyed a career as a college professor, teaching writing and literature courses. In his spare time, he also wrote fiction and scholarly articles. This love of writing continued in his legal career, as he enjoys taking a break from litigation to write about various legal topics, including constitutional law, trademark infringement, and data privacy.
