Overview
Anjie is a seasoned litigator and Office Head of Constangy’s New York office, where she defends employers in a wide range of workplace disputes across the Northeast.
She represents companies of all sizes in matters involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and denial of employee benefits before federal and state courts and administrative agencies in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Ohio. Anjie also handles labor arbitrations and advises clients in trade secret matters. In addition to her litigation work, she regularly counsels employers on compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws and conducts sensitive internal investigations.
With extensive trial and appellate experience—including arguments before the Third Circuit and appellate courts in New York and New Jersey—Anjie brings practical judgment to high-stakes disputes. Her background informs her approach to risk management, training, and investigations, particularly when evaluating witness credibility and audience dynamics. Earlier in her career, she served as a New York State Prosecutor, where she tried cases and handled appeals, and later clerked for the Honorable Shelby Highsmith in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
A native New Yorker, Anjie draws on her familiarity with local perceptions to inform jury strategy, witness preparation, and litigation assessments. During her time in public service, she tried narcotics and domestic violence cases and served in the Appeals Bureau, where she briefed and argued matters before the Second Department. Her early experiences sharpened her instincts for advocacy and ultimately led her to focus her career on employment law.
Anjie is deeply committed to mentorship and community engagement. She is an active member of the Hispanic National Bar Association, where she has served in various leadership roles on the Board of Governors. She also serves as Co-Chair of the Board of Directors for Latinas On the Verge of Excellence (L.O.V.E.), a nonprofit focused on empowering young Latinas through health education, mentorship, and career readiness.
