Amy N.L. Hanson

Amy Hanson helps her clients work past disputes so they can refocus on personal and business goals. Amy’s practice is focused on class action and other complex litigation, including antitrust, dangerous pharmaceuticals, and ERISA cases. Amy is a practical problem solver who enjoys rolling up her sleeves to obtain evidence and achieve solutions. She became interested in complex litigation because she wanted to help level the playing field for hardworking people and small businesses that were similarly harmed by large businesses and groups of businesses acting together. In her more than 15 years as a litigator, Amy has represented patients who experienced serious medical problems after consuming prescription drugs, small business owners challenging alleged nationwide price-fixing conspiracies, and certified classes of employees challenging the prudence of allowing their employers’ 401(k) plans to hold and acquire company stock. She has helped achieve settlements in the millions and billions of dollars. 

Amy was a Student Advocate at the University of Wisconsin Law School’s Consumer Litigation Clinic and a judicial law clerk intern for Judge Deininger at the State of Wisconsin Court of Appeals. She is currently honored to serve on the Vioxx Consumer Purchase Claims Subcommittee of the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in In re: Vioxx Prods. Liab. Litig., MDL No. 1657 (E.D. La.) and the WSAJ Consumer Protection Section Deskbook Editorial Board.

When not practicing law, Amy enjoys swing dancing, water sports, gardening, and international travel.
