In her role as a Director of Practice Management, Katie works hand in hand with the leaders of the three practice groups she supports at Lathrop GPM – Business Transactions, Franchise & Distribution, and Labor, Employment & Higher Education – to drive strategy and accomplish each group’s priorities.

Katie also plays a vital role in supporting attorneys and paralegals within these three groups to not only help them manage their day-to-day work, but to also collaborate with them on achieving their professional goals.

Outside of these three practice groups, Katie also works in partnership with professionals and departments across the firm to support the firm’s business objectives and serve our clients, including the Finance, Accounting, Business Development, Marketing, Recruiting, and Professional Development teams.   

Katie has her law degree from the University of North Dakota and was a practicing attorney, which gives her the unique ability to see things through a client-focused lens. In addition to her time at Lathrop GPM, Katie has worked at other private companies, including managing privacy efforts at a Fortune 50 company.
