Anne L. Rauch, a Partner with Berding|Weil, is board certified as an appellate specialist by the California Board of Legal Specialization for the State Bar. Her work on appeals and writs has resulted in wins in a broad range of practice areas including construction defect claims, real property litigation, business and partnership disputes, contract claims, insurance coverage, corporate governance and breach of fiduciary duty claims, and anti-SLAPP motions and appeals. While building her appellate practice, Anne acquired expertise in all aspects of common interest development law while also successfully navigating multi-million dollar construction defect claims for community associations from inception and the initial defect investigation through settlement, trial, and to successful conclusion on appeal. With that broad range of experience in both trial and appellate courts, Anne's good work has resulted in many published decisions shaping the law of California, including the application of the attorney-client privilege to communications between Association's litigation counsel and homeowners, the constitutional right to a jury trial, and refining the application of California's anti-SLAPP statute to better protect Constitutional free speech and petitioning rights. Representative cases are listed below, to name a few published wins.
