Kate has over 25 years of experience representing clients in the entertainment, financial services, private equity, healthcare and other industries, across all areas of employment law. She is regarded as a strategic and skilled litigator, and has represented employers in class and collective actions as well as in high-profile discrimination, retaliation, harassment, non-compete and wage/hour matters.
