Andrew C. Baak

Andy Baak has been with Bartlit Beck since 2006. He has a diverse litigation practice, representing clients in complex disputes involving commercial issues, products liability, mass torts, and intellectual property.

In recent years, Andy has led the firm's representation of MGIC, one of the nation's largest mortgage insurers, in a series of commercial disputes with over $1 billion at stake. Andy also has deep experience in preparing high-stakes cases for trial, having spent over five months at trial since joining Bartlit Beck. That trial experience includes the firm's successful defense of DuPont in a series of products liability cases involving the Benlate® fungicide.

In addition to his trial experience, Andy has helped clients obtain important victories in both state and federal appellate courts. For example, following a jury verdict of patent infringement against the firm's client Otis Elevator, Andy obtained a complete reversal and judgment for Otis in the Federal Circuit.

Andy joined Bartlit Beck following clerkships for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy on the United States Supreme Court and Judge Richard A. Posner on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Prior to law school, Andy was a management consultant with Deloitte Consulting.

A Colorado native, Andy moved to Bartlit Beck's Denver office after spending a number of years with the firm in Chicago.
