He works on complex civil litigation and has experience analyzing legal and factual issues involving contract, tax, and constitutional claims. He also assists clients with regulatory matters and works in areas connected to public entities and government affairs. His practice combines dispute-focused analysis with an understanding of statutes, public policy, and the legal framework governing regulated and governmental matters.

Anderson earned a J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, an M.A. in teaching from Lewis & Clark College, and a B.A., cum laude, in English from Boston College. At Berkeley, he received a Jurisprudence Award in Advanced Legal Writing and served as a teaching assistant for Legal Research and Writing. His academic background supports careful written advocacy, factual analysis, statutory interpretation, and clear explanation of complex legal issues.

Anderson joined Miller Nash after serving as a career law clerk to Chief Judge Elaine D. Kaplan at the US Court of Federal Claims. Before that clerkship, he worked in the Washington, DC office of an international law firm and spent approximately five years as a congressional aide. He began his career in education. That combination of judicial, legislative, private-practice, and teaching experience informs his work on litigation, regulatory matters, public policy, and government-related legal questions.

Adrian Anderson is admitted in Oregon and the District of Columbia and before the US Court of Federal Claims. His practice includes litigation, energy and utilities matters, public entities, and government and regulatory affairs. By drawing on experience from Congress, federal court, private practice, and education, he brings a broad perspective to complex disputes and regulatory questions.
