Catherine helps clients achieve their goals in high-stakes civil disputes. She has a track record of exceptional results at trial with significant nationwide experience in state and federal courts.
Catherine represents businesses, investors, executives and employees across a range of industries, including pharmaceutical, entertainment, software, professional services, biotechnology, real estate, beauty, medical, veterinary, financial services, transportation, logistics, cannabis and consumer products, among others. She regularly negotiates and structures contracts, including representing entertainment industry clients in negotiating agreements with clients, leveraging her litigation experience to identify pitfalls, eliminate ambiguities and prevent disputes before they arise. She also advises clients on employment matters, including negotiating and enforcing severance agreements and navigating confidentiality, noncompete and nonsolicitation issues.
Catherine’s approach is simple: understand her clients’ goals and deliver practical solutions — whether through early resolution or litigation. She recognizes that disciplined, strategic advocacy often creates opportunities to win before trial, but she prepares every case as if it will be tried. When litigation is unavoidable, Catherine is relentless, strategic and disciplined.
Clients rely on Catherine not only as an advocate, but also as a trusted partner who brings clarity to complex disputes, sound judgment under pressure and a focus on results and client goals. Her goal is to remove the strain of litigation so her clients can stay focused on their business and priorities.
Catherine has a dynamic record of litigation accomplishments and has served as lead counsel in hundreds of cases nationwide:
- Fraud Claims/Contract Disputes – Represented multiple global clients in fraud and breach of contract claims against a veterinary equipment manufacturer, securing full judgments with attorneys’ fees in every concluded case
- Shareholder Disputes – Successfully defended clients in multiple industries securing reversals of injunctions and preventing adverse court actions such as the imposition of receiverships
- Employment Litigation – Represented companies, executives and employees in multiple industries in cases involving noncompete and non-solicitation agreements, wrongful termination and severance disputes
- High-Stakes Investigations – Represented high-net-worth individuals in a six-year tax and securities fraud investigation involving offshore asset protection structures across multiple international jurisdictions, including the United States, Cayman Islands and Isle of Man
As a Greek-American attorney with strong ties to the United Kingdom, Catherine brings a deep understanding of Greek, British and American commercial and legal norms. This makes her a particularly effective advocate for Greek and British clients navigating legal matters in the U.S.
