About Kathryn
Biography
I am an employment and labor law attorney, representing companies, employees and executives in litigation and personnel matters. I have a general background in education, technology, construction, and government contracts matters.
A large part of my litigation practice pertains to post-employment litigation, both raising and defending claims involving fraud, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, leaked confidential information, defamation, and civil conspiracy. I also regularly negotiate agreements outside of the courtroom, including agreements pertaining to terminations, severance pay and commercial leases.
I regularly advise and train companies on best practices in the workplace, on topics such as workplace investigations, sexual harassment, the joint employer doctrine, terminations, ADA accommodations, and job applications.
I also have experience advising and litigating labor union matters, including employee termination grievances in arbitration, and negotiating collective bargaining agreements.

Highly Recommend!
I worked with Ms. Lipp on a tricky employment case with a big organization. She was easy to reach, calm and positive.
