Biography
Ms. Woods’ practice is two-fold, focusing on counseling and litigation. She counsels clients who have business disputes on how to avoid, or how to prepare for, litigation. She combines her knowledge of clients’ businesses and business goals with her expertise in litigation strategies and potential outcomes to provide clients the information they need to decide the best next steps. In addition to her litigation expertise, her substantive expertise includes insurance coverage, unfair competition, trade secret misappropriation and other intellectual property theft, business torts, construction litigation and real estate matters, including those involving defaults and enforcement of guarantees.
Ms. Woods is a certified Six Sigma Green Belt. Using Lean Six Sigma and project management methodologies, our SeyfarthLean approach delivers increased value to our clients at a time of increased market pressures and competitive demands. Seyfarth’s commitment to delivering legal services in a new way—with an emphasis on value and continuous improvement—has been praised by the Association of Corporate Counsel as being "five years ahead of every other AmLaw 200 firm."
Ms. Woods clerked for The Honorable Michael R. Murphy on the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Salt Lake City, Utah.
