I am a commercial litigation partner at Cozen O’Connor resident in the Pittsburgh, PA and New York, NY offices focusing on matters relating to securities law, shareholder litigation, contract, governmental investigations, insurance, real estate, and bankruptcy or distressed businesses. I also have an extensive pro bono practice serving a diverse range of clients in impact litigation, including matters relating to LGBTQ and political asylum, voting rights, women’s access to health care, and transgender rights. In that capacity, I have been involved in LGBTQ civil rights cases on behalf of parties and amici in state and federal courts from the trial level to the United States Supreme Court. I earned my undergraduate degree in Government from Harvard University, and earned my law degree, magna cum laude, from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where I was head editor of the Cardozo Law Review and a member of Order of the Coif. I also sit on the Board of Directors of the National LGBT Bar Foundation and am a former director (and was one of the founding directors) of Children’s Healthcare Is a Legal Duty (CHILD) USA, a non-profit think tank based in Philadelphia dedicated to protecting children and preventing abuse.
