Andrew Gunem

Attorney

Overview

I am an attorney in Turke & Strauss’ class action practice—where we enforce individuals’ rights when “bad apple” corporations break the law. As such, we litigate in federal and state courts across the country. For example, I have litigated claims of unfair trade practices, unlawful wiretapping, product liability (PFAS contamination), negligent data breaches, and violations of consumer protections laws.

Experience

During law school, I interned with the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and a full-service corporate law firm. And for professors Miriam Seifter and Robert Yablon, I researched state-level democracy issues—specifically, analyzing over 350 decisions by the New York Court of Appeals. 

Before law school, I was an Investigative Analyst at the National Conference of Bar Examiners. There, I investigated attorneys across the country to determine if they were morally fit to practice law.
