Mitchell Anderson

An experienced litigator, Mitch has handled and assisted with state and federal OSHA litigation matters in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts.

Mitch is also a member of the Workplace Safety Rapid Response Team and regularly travels to worksites across the country following fatalities, amputations, and other serious incidents. Mitch initiates and directs root-cause investigations, prepares on-site personnel for inspections, and acts as employers’ “walkaround representative” during OSHA’s physical inspections of worksites. Following on-site inspections, Mitch counsels and defends employers through the conclusion of OSHA’s investigation and, if necessary, enforcement litigation. Collectively, these measures and others help improve workplace safety, prevent needless citations, and minimize the risk of related civil liability. To date, Mitch has attended and handled OSHA inspections in more than 25 states.

In addition to conventional workplace safety compliance counseling and enforcement defense, Mitch helps employers navigate and defend whistleblower claims arising under state and federal OSHA statutes and the Seaman’s Protection Act. 

Since 2025, Mitchell has been recognized in the Best Lawyers in America for Litigation - Labor & Employment, and Employment Law - Management.
