Katie Loberstein

A Strategic and Compassionate Advocate in Employment Law

When my small tech company faced a complex wrongful termination claim from a former executive, the situation felt overwhelming. We needed counsel who was not only legally sharp but could also navigate the sensitive human resources aspects. Katie Loberstein at Davis Wright Tremaine was precisely that. From our first consultation, her deep knowledge of Washington state employment law and litigation strategy was evident. She meticulously reviewed our internal policies and the termination documentation, identifying both potential vulnerabilities and our strongest defenses. Katie’s recognition in Best Lawyers for Labor and Employment Law - Management wasn’t just a title; it translated into practical, strategic advice. She guided us through the mediation process with a balanced approach—firmly protecting our company’s interests while realistically assessing the risks of prolonged litigation. Her preparation was exhaustive, and her ability to explain legal nuances without jargon was invaluable for our leadership team. The result was a favorable settlement that avoided a costly public trial and allowed us to move forward. Beyond her undeniable expertise, Katie’s professionalism and calm demeanor under pressure were exceptional. She made a stressful situation manageable. For any business in Seattle facing employment-related legal challenges, I cannot recommend Katie Loberstein highly enough.
