Anna Uhls counsels boards, executives, and companies facing congressional investigations, crises, regulatory inquiries, and government scrutiny. She advises leadership at the highest-stakes moments of public and governmental attention, drawing on her senior experience in government, a global technology company, corporate law firm, and journalism. Her experience gives her a 360-degree perspective on how crises unfold across every arena and how decisions made in one forum can shape outcomes in all the others.

Most recently, Anna was Assistant General Counsel at the FBI, where she led the Bureau’s congressional oversight and investigations portfolio and advised senior leadership on congressional inquiries, investigations, hearings, depositions, and related national security matters. She was responsible for managing the Bureau’s engagement with Congress across oversight and investigative matters and advising FBI leadership on legal and strategic considerations arising from congressional scrutiny. Also at the Bureau, Anna counseled FBI national security operations, focusing on the domestic terrorism threat and First Amendment law, and more recently on investigations into cartels and financial crimes.

Prior to the FBI, Anna was U.S. Regulatory Counsel at Uber, where she led the company’s response to complex enforcement actions and legislative battles in California and across the United States during a period of intense scrutiny. She managed high-stakes regulatory and safety enforcement matters, developed precedent-setting strategies in regulatory litigation, and turned adversarial regulators into collaborative partners. She also embedded with business, product, and engineering teams through high-pressure product launches and Uber’s entrance into new markets, building regulatory frameworks that better complemented the company’s products.

Earlier in her career, Anna practiced in the crisis management group of an international law firm, representing corporate and tech clients in government investigations, congressional hearings, federal and state regulatory matters, and high-profile corporate crises spanning congressional and regulatory inquiries, political ethics, and international diplomacy. She also served as vetting counsel on the transition team for an incoming U.S. president. Anna began her career as a journalist at The Washington Post, covering politics, breaking news, and local news. That grounding in how information flows and how narratives form under pressure is integral to how she approaches crisis strategy.

Anna uses her diverse background in tech, government, private practice, and media to counsel companies in tech, life sciences, and other industries operating at the intersection of innovation and regulation — particularly in the moments when growth, scrutiny, and public attention converge.
