Meet Wendy Anderson

wendy anderson headshot

After decades in corporate America as a marketing executive, I switched gears and became an attorney in 2015. It had always been my dream to go to law school, and I chose business law because I had seen firsthand how thorny legal issues could stop a business in its tracks. Whether you’re expanding your services, facing a challenging employment issue, or simply have a question about a business transaction, make me your first call. 


I represent companies of all sizes from sole proprietors to organizations with hundreds of employees. I will help you assess your legal risk and create a plan to ensure your company is protected today and tomorrow from those unforeseen misunderstandings that crop up with partners, clients, employees, or independent contractors. I ensure that all parties fully understand their obligations, I do it as quickly and inexpensively as possible, and I communicate in language everyone understands.


With a broad and deep understanding of business practices, I spot liabilities before they happen and have an uncommon attention to detail in drafting and reviewing critical documents. I approach legal challenges with an eye toward finding the best resolution with the least disruption. I’m experienced in negotiating the extras, and thrive behind the scenes, helping you keep your business on track.
