Katherine Pokorny

A consummate professional who guided us through a complex business dispute

Our company faced a significant contractual dispute with a former partner that threatened to derail a major project. We engaged Katherine Pokorny at Perkins Coie, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting in her Chicago office, Katherine demonstrated a profound grasp of the commercial litigation landscape. Her analysis was not only legally sound but strategically brilliant, anticipating the other side's moves with remarkable foresight. While her profile notes her recognition in Corporate Law, her practical skill in navigating the intricacies of our commercial conflict was immediately evident. She managed the entire process with a calm, steady hand, translating complex legal concepts into clear, actionable advice for our leadership team. Katherine’s approach was both assertive and pragmatic, focusing on achieving our core business objectives rather than getting mired in unnecessary legal battles. Her guidance led to a resolution that was not only favorable but also preserved a critical business relationship, which we had thought was irreparably damaged. Her professionalism, from meticulous document review to her poised demeanor in negotiations, was exceptional. We are deeply grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to any business navigating challenging legal waters.
