An exceptional advocate for complex employment litigation

Kathleen McGinley provided outstanding counsel during a sensitive executive separation and non-compete dispute. Her 16 years of experience, particularly in employment law management and litigation, were immediately evident. She expertly navigated the corporate governance complexities, securing a resolution that protected our interests without costly litigation. As office litigation manager at Jackson Lewis, her strategic insight was invaluable. Kathleen is not only a sharp, recognized legal mind but also communicates with clarity and genuine care. I recommend her without reservation to any organization facing employment-related legal challenges.
