Whitney Mayer

Whitney Mayer serves as Assistant General Counsel at Clark Associates, a private label distributor based in Lancaster, a role she began in July after nearly a decade in big law. In this position, she advises business stakeholders on product safety, product compliance, and food safety matters arising in private label distribution. Prior to this, Whitney spent six years at Reed Smith handling drug and medical device defense litigation and mass torts, one year at Holladay Night continuing similar work while adding employment law and commercial litigation, and two years at Polsinelli focusing on commercial litigation alongside mass tort drug and device cases. She earned her undergraduate degree in international relations with a minor in biology from Mercedes College, her J.D. from University of Pennsylvania Law School, and a Master's in Public Health from Perelman School of Medicine, completing the latter two simultaneously. Whitney previously served as a board member for the Louisville Clinic for the disabled in Philadelphia, an organization close to her heart. She attributes her professional success to strong support systems including family and mentors, and she values humility, curiosity, a strong work ethic, and flexibility in approaching complex legal strategies.
