Asha L.I. Spencer

Asha handles a wide array of complex corporate litigation, with a practice that encompasses general commercial disputes, intellectual property, class actions, product liability, and mass torts. Representative clients include Trinity Industries, Bayer, Walgreens, and Whirlpool.

Asha also has extensive experience at trial. In LoggerHead v. Sears, a 2017 patent jury trial, Asha presented LoggerHead’s damages expert and cross-examined the defendants’ patent attorney (who defendants put on to defend against a claim of willful infringement). Asha’s examinations were successful. The jury returned a verdict of infringement for LoggerHead and awarded damages near the top end of the range Asha’s damages expert presented at trial. The jury also returned a finding of willful infringement in LoggerHead’s favor. Asha has also had the opportunity to cross-examine a damages expert in a multi-billion dollar confidential arbitration and has examined fact witnesses in other matters. She has also supported multiple trials throughout her career at Bartlit Beck.

Asha graduated from The University of Chicago Law School in 2010 with High Honors. She was a member of the Law Review and the Order of the Coif, a Kirkland and Ellis Scholar (awarded to the top five percent of the class), and received the Edwin F. Mandel Award for exceptional contribution to the Law School's clinical program.
