A gifted advocate, Aleksandra helps clients through the chess match of litigation.
Aleksandra divides her practice between toxic tort matters and general commercial litigation. She serves on the local counsel team for several industrial manufacturing clients, defending against allegations of toxic elements in their industrial products. While she primarily works with asbestos litigation, Aleksandra is experienced with other chemicals as well, including extensive work with glyphosate found in herbicides.
Aleksandra’s commercial practice includes breach of contract, breach of lease agreement or related landlord/tenant disputes, real estate matters, and other business disputes. She regularly represents a national bank in various lending lawsuits, including breach of loan security litigation. As a natural writer, Aleksandra routinely drafts motions for the court and assists with discovery, and she frequently takes depositions.
Aleksandra knew she wanted to be an attorney from a young age: with strong advocacy skills, she simply couldn’t imagine herself pursuing any other career, and she knew she was meant to be a litigator. As a law student, she served as a Husch Blackwell summer associate, cutting her teeth on asbestos litigation, constitutional work for a pro bono client, and general commercial litigation. She also externed with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District and the Cook County Circuit Court, where she learned to dig deep into legal questions and gained excellent research skills.
In addition to her writing and research skills, Aleksandra is known as an attorney who makes the practice of law personal. She loves working with people and sees clients as individuals, not as a succession of legal cases. Her goal is for clients to see her as a colleague, rather than as outside counsel, and she strives to work alongside them as a true partner. Her gift for advocacy means she’s always their staunch defender in court—but Aleksandra knows that she’s also there to serve as clients’ counselor, helping them develop legal strategies and choose the course of action that best fits their business needs.
