Burr & Forman LLP announces the addition of Tampa-based associate Sadie Craig, who joins the firm’s Consumer Finance Group. Her practice will focus on advising clients with large-scale business and contract disputes and defending against consumer protection claims.

“We are thrilled to continue the expansion of our Florida consumer finance team, especially with seasoned litigators like Sadie,” said Harvey Kauget, Burr & Forman's Tampa office managing partner. “Her unique background and experience in niche areas such as media and sweepstakes law directly strengthens our capabilities as a firm, and we look forward to starting off a new year strong with this addition.”

Craig has first-chair trial and appellate experience, and has experience in intellectual property, First Amendment, and public records issues, and providing advertising and marketing law advice to assist clients in navigating state and federal law regarding advertisements, sweepstakes and promotions. She has defended large corporations against consumer protection claims, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), and the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act (FCCPA), in state and federal courts and in arbitration.

Craig formerly worked as a journalist for The Associated Press, The Kansas City Star and The Missoulian, and served as a Judicial Intern to the Honorable Amy Totenberg in the Northern District of Georgia.

She received her undergraduate degree from Kansas State University, her master’s degree from the University of Montana and her law degree from the University of Georgia. She is licensed in Florida and Georgia.
