Legal advice for non-profit clients 

  • Kate may act as “general counsel” to her nonprofit clients in the states where she is barred, advising at a high level on issues like employment, compliance, and when to bring in outside counsel.

Public interest

  • Kate’s passion has always been to do her small part to correct inequities in the legal system. While all of her work is in pursuit of that goal, she maintains a small caseload of cases and policy pursuits aimed at parole releases, the reduction of mass incarceration and indigent defense.

Kate brings 15 years of legal experience in civil and criminal cases to her work. Over her career, she has handled complex civil cases, labor and employment matters, bankruptcy, contract disputes and criminal cases. Having been on both sides of these conflicts, Kate is adept at acknowledging the intricacies and varied perspectives that are inherent in any dispute. In addition to her legal expertise, Kate’s time as a nonprofit executive gives her a strong background in the strategic planning, project management, fundraising, communications, and HR issues that are inherent to any organization. The combination of these legal and management skills gives clients a multi-dimensional problem solver, ready to tackle the host of challenges that confront organizations.
