Picture
Katie joined the firm in June 2019 and focuses her practice on the defense of hospitals, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare providers against professional liability claims in complex litigation. Katie has extensive experience guiding clients through all phases of a case, from pleadings to trial, including motion practice and appeals. She has a strong understanding of Illinois procedure, and she takes a meticulous, detail-oriented approach to the discovery process. Katie has successfully resolved numerous cases through alternative dispute resolution, and she values professionalism in the practice.
Prior to joining KBHG, Katie practiced for eight years at another Chicago firm where she defended clients against claims of legal malpractice, product liability, premises liability, automobile accidents, medical malpractice, and other tort matters. Additionally, Katie has represented excess insurance carriers in matters across the country where she evaluated liability issues and potential exposure for each claim, monitored the progress of the defense, and assisted in negotiating the carrier’s settlement contribution. 

From 2008 to 2011, Katie served as a law clerk for the Honorable Deborah Mary Dooling (retired) in the Jury Section of the Circuit Court of Cook County. There, she assisted Judge Dooling with various civil matters at the pre-trial, trial, and post-trial stages.

Katie received her bachelor’s degree from Saint Mary’s College of Notre Dame, Indiana in 2001 and her law degree from The John Marshall Law School in 2007. When she is not at work, Katie loves running, reading novels, gardening, and spending time with her family and friends.
