Heather Canner, CPA (inactive), concentrates her practice on complex civil litigation in federal and state trial and appellate courts.

Heather has developed a leading consumer class action practice defending clients across a range of industries. Heather has successfully defended retailers and manufacturers against consumer claims challenging the advertising or labeling for a variety of consumer products (e.g., food and beverage, dietary supplements, over-the-counter medications, cosmetics and skin care, kitchen goods), including claims implicating FTC, FDA, and USDA regulations. Her class action experience also encompasses privacy claims, products liability claims, and emerging statutory and consumer protection claims.

Beyond class actions, Heather represents businesses in high-stakes commercial disputes involving contract claims, business torts, trade secrets, employee mobility, and other bet-the-company matters. She has extensive experience litigating cases at both the trial and appellate levels and developing strategic solutions to complex legal and business challenges.

As a CPA (inactive), Heather brings a unique perspective to her litigation practice. She regularly advises clients on disputes involving accounting and financial issues, including allegations of financial fraud, investor disputes, business combinations, and complex financial transactions.

Clients value Heather's ability to combine rigorous legal analysis with practical business judgment, helping them navigate sophisticated disputes efficiently while remaining focused on their broader business objectives.
