Bailey Frank is a civil litigator whose national practice spans correctional healthcare, medical malpractice, property and contract disputes, commercial matters, and general civil litigation. She partners closely with clients, including corporations, service providers, and healthcare contractors, to navigate high-stakes disputes, protect their interests, and deliver results aligned with business goals.

In her correctional healthcare work, Bailey defends clients in complex, high-exposure claims, ranging from constitutional and statutory issues to regulatory compliance. Her litigation skillset includes comprehensive motion practice, alternative dispute resolution, and successful oral advocacy, all aimed at early case resolution or favorable verdicts.

Bailey understands that her clients need not just a winning legal strategy, but efficient, pragmatic counsel that balances risk, cost, and timing. She is known for keeping clients fully informed and involved, anticipating issues before they arise, and assessing the legal landscape and choosing paths that preserve rights while minimizing unnecessary exposure. She is also adept at managing multi-jurisdictional issues and coordinating across state lines.

Bailey holds a J.D. from Duke Law School, and a B.S. in International Politics from Georgetown University. Her background includes a litigation fellowship with the Animal Legal Defense Fund, where she handled complex state, federal, and appellate matters – foundations that sharpened her analytic rigor and commitment to advocacy.
