Experience
Associate Attorney
Oct 2023 — Present · Washington, DC, US
I represent clients in complex employment law matters, navigating cases from agency levels such as the MSPB and EEOC through to federal court proceedings. For clients facing constructive or wrongful termination, I negotiate severance agreements and draft persuasive demand letters to secure equitable resolutions. My role also includes preparing substantive pretrial motions, such as oppositions to dispositive motions and litigating discovery issues. In addition to litigation, I draft contracts for corporate clients, incorporating clauses that address operational, performance, protective, and risk management considerations to minimize future liabilities.
