Mr Jeremiah Anderson

Position
Jeremiah brings more than two decades of experience representing multinational companies in commercial and environmental litigation, including energy and construction industry disputes. He defends businesses in complex commercial and environmental tort matters, as well as product liability and contamination litigation. He represents clients in trial and appellate courts throughout the United States and in domestic and international arbitrations.
Jeremiah’s notable work includes managing the litigation team for a global energy company in national multidistrict litigation related to alleged groundwater pollution. He also manages the trial team for the American Petroleum Institute in climate change litigation across the country. In addition, he recently led the defense of multiple individuals and companies against allegations of trade secrets theft in cases spanning four states, and in the last year, Jeremiah has obtained temporary and permanent injunction relief in a similar case. And Jeremiah is no stranger to the courtroom or arbitration. In the past two years, he has tried two construction disputes with more than $50 million in damages at issue in both.
In 2024, Jeremiah was included The Best Lawyers in America for Construction Law and in Legal 500 United States in the General Commercial Litigation section. Jeremiah was also named a “Texas Super Lawyer” in 2024 for the fifth consecutive year.
