Litigation Experience
A veteran of more than 75 lawsuits involving IP, Karen has been entrusted with cases having significant economic impact to her clients. She has secured damages awards on behalf of clients totaling several hundred millions of dollars (in reported decisions), and has recovered or helped her clients to avoid paying many times that amount in defense verdicts and confidential settlements and license agreements. Karen’s teams have a 4-0 win record at trial on cases where the amount in dispute exceeds $50 million dollars.

Her litigation practice is national in scope, and she has appeared in courtrooms across the country. Her areas of expertise include patent infringement trials, trademark infringement trials and trade secret trials.

Karen's previous experience as in-house litigation counsel to the largest medical device manufacturer in the world means she understands litigation from the client’s point of view and employs client-driven values in her practice today.
