Temi Anderson is of counsel with Bateman Law Group, where she focuses on litigation, employment, data privacy, business and military law (specializing in complex investigations). A retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, she has experience in the courtroom and in combat, having served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Anderson began her career in military intelligence. After law school, she served as a criminal prosecutor, labor law counsel and in-house counsel. She also served as the chief of administrative and civil law for the 25th Infantry Division, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, and as the chief of national security law for U.S. Army Pacific in Hawaii. There, Anderson had the opportunity to travel to Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Nepal and Australia for subject matter expert exchanges and multinational exercises.
Anderson went on to serve as an associate professor of administrative and civil law and later as associate dean of students at the Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School. She taught the law of federal employment, federal litigation, equal employment opportunity and privacy law.
Anderson routinely briefed civilian and military leaders, including members of Congress, senior Army civilians, general officers, commanders and other legal professionals from NASA to the IRS. Key topics included furloughs, reductions in force, civilian investigations, talent retention through award recognition, the Privacy Act, the Freedom of Information Act, HIPAA, employee discipline and performance improvement plans.
Anderson simultaneously served as employment law counsel to the commanding general. After retiring from the military, she joined Bateman Law Group.
In her free time, Anderson enjoys traveling abroad with family and friends — anywhere warm. She also loves weightlifting, working out, playing the flute and training for her black belt in karate with her family.
Anderson resides in Charlottesville.
