Meredith Addy is a long-time appellate specialist, having handled more than 100 Federal Circuit appeals, with an enviable record of success before the Court. Meredith, Robert Hart, and Charles Pannell have deep experience arguing cases before the appellate bench.
Time after time, AddyHart’s attorneys have won appellate reversals of adverse lower court decisions in cases involving complex technologies in the electrical arts—including both hardware and software, in the chemical arts, and in the life sciences sector—including for branded and generic pharmaceuticals and biologics.
When you ask Addy a difficult question, as we often do in oral arguments, she fires right back with a very crisp, clear answer that is totally responsive to the question. And it’s factual and accurate and fair. The contrast with other attorneys is stark. Most other attorneys duck the questions. Addy answers them head-on.
