About the Founder
Before founding Phoenix Law PLLC, Katherine spent years in corporate positions working as in-house corporate counsel, general counsel and managing compliance risk. She has represented individuals in tax controversies with the IRS. And she has been in regulatory oversight positions evaluating compliance programs of some of the largest and most complex financial institutions in the country. Through her experience, Katherine has gained firsthand knowledge of corporations’ strategic decision-making and operational pressures, as well as the varied issues experienced by individuals, consumers, and employees. As a first-generation college graduate, Katherine understands what it takes to successfully rise on life's journey. Katherine applies the same relentless determination, creativity, and ethical approach to her cases, advocating for the client and telling their story to achieve optimal results.
Katherine advises individuals and consumers across a range of legal matters, including civil rights, consumer protections, employment & labor law, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful termination, and whistleblower claims. Katherine leverages her unique experience and skillset to achieve favorable results for her clients, helping them to avoid costly trials and move forward on their journey.
In addition to representing individuals and consumers, Katherine provides corporate counsel legal services to companies looking for additional legal support. Katherine also offers consulting services for businesses developing operationally effective compliance programs that reduce risk while promoting fair and inclusive business activities.
