Adam K. Strider's primary professional focus is in single-plaintiff discrimination and harassment litigation, with additional significant experience in wage and hour matters. Adam joined Littler in 2025 after seven years at a regional litigation defense firm where he cultivated a practice centered around employment discrimination, and other areas of civil rights-based litigation. In the process, he also developed a substantial body of work in the appellate sphere, notably including serving as the oral advocate in a successful appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in a fourth amendment case. He also served as principal brief writer on an appellate team that secured the reversal of a $3.5M verdict in the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in a public accommodations case.
Prior to that experience, Adam worked for three years in a local boutique labor and employment firm after beginning his legal career as law clerk for the Hon. Christopher Wilkes in the Circuit Court of Berkeley County, West Virginia and West Virginia Business Court.
In 2019, Adam was elected to the South Charleston City Council, representing the 8th Ward, where he continues to serve after being re-elected to a second term in 2023.
