Amy K.
Anderson

Position
Partner
Office
Dallas

Amy Anderson is a partner in the Litigation Practice Group with extensive trial and appellate experience in complex commercial litigation across state and federal courts.


Amy is a seasoned lawyer who has won numerous jury verdicts and favorable bench-trial decisions in a wide range of high-stakes, complex commercial litigation in state and federal trial courts throughout Texas and Oklahoma. Amy also has a significant appellate practice; she has litigated numerous matters and won favorable rulings in state and federal appellate courts.

Amy has obtained successful trial outcomes across the spectrum of civil litigation, including in cases involving contract disputes, fraud and fraudulent transfer, misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, government investigations, personal injury, and construction-related matters involving design defect and delay claims. She excels at jury persuasion and presenting complex evidence to the bench, adapting her advocacy style to match the demands of — and achieve maximum effectiveness before — juries and judges.

Beyond her trial work, Amy is a strategic litigator who leverages her courtroom experience to achieve early victories through dispositive motion practice and tactical settlement. She partners with clients to assess litigation risks, develop litigation-avoidance strategies, negotiate settlements, secure summary judgments, and otherwise minimize the need for expensive, protracted litigation.

Prior to joining Jones Walker, Amy served as a clerk to Judge Claire V. Eagan of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma.
