Audrey Berland
With over 25 years of litigation experience, Audrey Berland has handled a wide variety of commercial and tort litigation matters for both defendants and plaintiffs through all phases of litigation. She has represented a broad range of clients in complex and multiparty matters, from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses and individuals. Consequently, the kinds of litigation Audrey has handled is similarly varied: claims involving product and pharmaceutical liability, environmental insurance coverage, construction defects, medical malpractice, and employment. For over fifteen years, Audrey’s practice was focused on defending large manufacturers, primarily automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturers, throughout all stages of litigation, against catastrophic injury and claims alleging defects in product design and manufacturing.
More recently, Audrey joined Ichter Davis to expand the scope of her practice to handling business litigation matters, including enforceability of noncompete and non-solicitation covenants, breach of contract, and tortious interference with the same. Through her experience in managing complex litigation, as well as counseling clients in less complex disputes, Audrey has gained the perspective to hear what is driving parties to litigate, as well as the capacity to assist parties in moving beyond reactionary positions toward conducting informed evaluations of their resolution options. Audrey also serves as a Special Master.
