Wendy’s career includes significant experience on both sides of the bar, giving her a rare dual perspective on complex matters. She served as lead counsel in major, high-exposure medical-device product-liability and mass-tort matters, handled pharmaceutical-injury cases involving severe or fatal outcomes, and represented clients in sexual-assault claims involving a national youth development organization. Wendy has led discovery in multi-jurisdictional actions, managed attorney teams, and developed strategies for matters involving extensive document production and expert-driven issues. Her attention to detail and ability to pinpoint critical issues in voluminous written discovery are hallmarks of her practice, and she is recognized for synthesizing complex facts and shaping persuasive case narratives through the most demanding phases of litigation.

Prior to joining M&C, Wendy played a pivotal role representing state, local, and tribal entity plaintiffs in the landmark opioid multidistrict (MDL) litigation, the largest civil litigation in U.S. history. She served on trial teams in the national and bellwether opioid trials across multiple jurisdictions, including New York, Ohio, Florida, West Virginia, and Utah, obtaining unanimous jury verdicts and multi-billion-dollar settlements against opioid manufacturers, distributors, retail pharmacy chains, and high-level stakeholders in international pharmaceutical conglomerates.
