With over 10 years of legal experience, I am currently driving forward the legal operations as the Deputy General Counsel at Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin. My core competencies include legal guidance, contract negotiation, and organizational governance for multiple entities. At Goodwill, my mission aligns with empowering our team of over 5500 employees, ensuring compliance, and fostering community trust through ethical legal practices. My work supports the organization's culture of integrity and dedication to service, bringing a diverse perspective and a commitment to excellence in the non-profit sector.

In my role, I have expanded the legal department, defining new roles, recruiting talents, and managing our budget effectively. My responsibilities encompass overseeing the governance of our extensive network, which includes more than 70 retail locations. My skills in analyzing, negotiating, and drafting a wide array of contracts have been critical in advancing Goodwill's interests, from procurement to marketing. This expertise, coupled with my experience in teaching International Law and Contract Drafting, equips me to mentor our team and strengthen our legal framework.

I am a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of King & Spalding, and a member of the firm’s national appellate and strategic counseling practice group. My practice focuses on appellate litigation and administrative law; on the preparation of high-risk cases for eventual appeal; and on strategic, complex litigation. I have significant experience handling administrative law cases, especially before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

I frequently collaborate with lawyers in King & Spalding's regulatory practices. I have handled appeals and complex litigation matters in courts across the country, including significant matters before the U.S. Supreme Court, almost all of the federal courts of appeals, and a variety of state appellate courts. I also have experience in a range of substantive areas, including energy, FDA/life sciences, health care, labor, products liability, international trade, environmental regulation, and bankruptcy.

I have been recognized by Chambers & Partners as “very effective at oral argument... very focused and clear.” Legal 500 has recommend me for my appellate expertise, with clients noting that my “ability to present complex technical and legal materials and arguments is a particular strength.” I have been selected as a Washington Super Lawyer and, in 2012, was recognized by Law 360 as a “rising star,” one of only five appellate lawyers nationwide chosen for this recognition. In 2014, I was identified by Reuters as one of the country's most successful Supreme Court practitioners.

King & Spalding's appellate group is recognized as one of the nation's top appellate practices. In 2015, we were selected by Legal 500 as the law firm of the year for our Supreme Court and Appellate practice. In 2013, we were selected by Law 360 as the practice group of the year.
