Meredith leads the national defense strategy and serves as national lead trial counsel for multiple clients’ talcum powder litigation. In this role for nearly a decade, she oversees all stages of the litigation for her clients, including early case evaluation, development of national discovery plans and processes, expert selection and discovery, dispositive motion briefing and argument, trial strategy, and serving as lead trial counsel in high profile matters. A team player at her core, Meredith enjoys building and working with tailored and cultivated teams to achieve successful outcomes for her clients.

Meredith also served as lead national counsel and lead trial counsel for a national pharmacy chain in its first bellwether trial in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation MDL (N.D. Ohio).

Her trial work extends beyond product liability. Meredith was part of the trial team representing a state government in a high-profile, six-week bench trial against a major technology company over a $1.4 billion, 10-year services agreement. The trial involved 94 witnesses and 7,500 exhibits, and the State of Indiana won a $128 million judgment. Her appellate work includes persuading the Indiana Supreme Court to hold that misuse is a complete defense to product liability claims under the Indiana Product Liability Act, a significant win for manufacturers litigating in the state.

Meredith works with clients to understand the public relations impact and financial investment litigation will require, and to determine the course of action that best meets their needs. Clients value her considerate advice and concise communication.

Meredith has prosecuted and defended claims in more than 30 state and federal courts, in arbitration and on appeal, including before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, the Indiana Court of Appeals and the Indiana Supreme Court. In addition, she has significant experience negotiating and leading the resolution of mass torts for multiple clients in the prescription drug and consumer product space. She also advises companies on litigation holds, record retention and data disposition in connection with acquisitions and divestitures.

Meredith resides in Indianapolis with her husband and two daughters.
