More About Katharine
Employers navigate constant change—shifting regulations, conflicting state laws, and the steady rise of workplace claims. Katharine helps them stay ahead of those risks. Drawing on deep experience across both private and public sectors, she guides clients through everyday employment challenges, builds strategies that prevent disputes, and litigates decisively when disputes arise.
Katharine’s work spans the full range of management‑side employment law. She guides employers through every stage of litigation—administrative investigations, trial, and appeal—in matters involving discrimination, harassment, disability accommodation, and retaliation. She also handles labor arbitrations involving disciplinary actions and contract disputes. Her earlier experience at a large federal agency gives her insight into how regulators think and operate, which helps clients anticipate procedural hurdles and navigate complex compliance demands with confidence.
Every employer faces a different set of challenges, shaped by their industry, size, workforce, and history. Katharine takes the time to understand each client's business before offering guidance, tailoring advice to their specific risk profile and priorities. Whether a client is dealing with a one-time workplace dispute or navigating a systemic compliance issue, Katharine’s approach is to provide practical, actionable counsel grounded in real-world experience across both the private and public sectors.
