Jonathan C. Anders

I am a board certified North Carolina workers’ compensation defense attorney.  I founded Anders Newton PLLC with my partner, Gregg Newton, in November of 2014, after more than 18 years of workers’ compensation litigation experience.

I concentrate my practice in the area of workers’ compensation defense, representing numerous North Carolina employers and workers’ compensation carriers at all levels of the North Carolina Industrial Commission, as well as before state trial and appellate courts.  While I specialize in cases involving traumatic workplace accidents and occupational diseases, I also help clients protect their workers’ compensation subrogation rights and assert their liens.

I routinely consult with clients on claim handling strategy, exposure, and settlement value.  My clients appreciate my ability to effectively argue their position, resolve issues in dispute, and close files efficiently.    In addition to aggressively defending claims, I am an expert in drafting workers’ compensation settlement agreements and securing Industrial Commission approval.  

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  I earned my Juris Doctor degree from the Campbell Law School where I was select to a national Moot Court team. A native of New Bern, North Carolina, I now live in Chatham County on a 96-acre farm with my wife, daughter, son, and a full entourage of farm pets. When not waylaid by farm chores, I enjoy golf, fly fishing and hiking with my family.
