Brian Williams brings more than three decades of diverse legal and investigative experience to the class action group at Siri & Glimstad LLP. Most recently, both in private practice and as an Assistant Colorado Attorney General, Mr. Williams helped states, counties, and cities recover the billions of dollars necessary to abate the opioid epidemic from the nation’s leading prescription opioid manufacturers, distributors, and dispensers.

Prior to relocating to Colorado in 2017, Mr. Williams supervised and mentored a highly qualified team of investigators and attorneys as Manager of the Occupational Licensing Division of the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office. In that capacity, he also served as general counsel to the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice and other professional boards.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Williams served as a prosecutor and commercial litigator in central Minnesota, where he gained invaluable trial experience litigating both civil and criminal matters. Later, while a partner of two Minneapolis class action law firms, he investigated the malfeasance of countless domestic and international corporations, ultimately helping plaintiffs recover billions of dollars in some of the world’s largest and most complex antitrust, securities, and consumer fraud class action cases, including In re Broadcom Corp. Sec. Litig. (C.D. Cal.), In re Pharmaceutical Industry Average Wholesale Price Litig. (D. Mass.), and In re TFT-LCD Antitrust Litig. (N.D. Cal.).

After obtaining a degree in government from St. John’s University (MN), Mr. Williams graduated with honors from Mitchell Hamline School of Law, where he was a published member of the law review.
