Kate values being proactive, whether the issue at hand is day-to-day employment guidance and training or investigations and litigation.
Kate’s practice is a mix of litigation and sound legal counseling. Addressing gaps in an employment manual, proactively managing leave and accommodation issues, constructing sound restrictive covenants and providing top-notch training can save businesses time, money and trouble in the future. But when litigation is necessary, Kate is an experienced and determined advocate for her clients.
She focuses her practice on labor and employment law, seeking to bring clarity to clients in a field where there are often no easy answers. Working frequently with healthcare and education clients, Kate understands the hierarchy within these employment structures and the significant interactions between workers and consumers (patients, students) that present unique challenges. She is adept at hot-button labor and employment issues, such as the FMLA, the ADA, Title IX and Title VII, reductions in force, severance agreements, wage and hour matters, and restrictive covenants.
A win looks different for everyone, so Kate takes the time to know her clients and their goals to protect them under the law while keeping with company culture. Approachable and practical, Kate zeroes in on the pertinent information so clients can make smart decisions and get back to the things that matter most – their businesses and employees.
