Jones Walker LLP is pleased to welcome Katie Lasky as a partner in the Litigation Practice Group and a member of the bankruptcy & restructuring team in the firm’s New Orleans office.
“We are pleased to welcome Katie to our bankruptcy & restructuring team,” said Bill Hines, the firm’s managing partner. “Her extensive experience, entrepreneurial approach, and deep knowledge in handling complex insolvency matters will further enhance our capabilities to deliver strategic counsel to clients across the Southeast, as well as nationally.”
With more than 20 years of experience as a commercial litigator, Katie provides clients with targeted, effective legal counsel across a broad range of bankruptcy-related and other complex business disputes.
“I am excited to join Jones Walker and collaborate with such a talented team of attorneys,” Katie said. “The firm’s depth of experience, commitment to clients, and strong presence in the region provide the platform I’ve been looking for to further build my practice and better serve my clients’ needs.”
Prior to joining Jones Walker, she was the founder of her own boutique litigation firm, where she represented businesses and individuals in commercial and bankruptcy-related litigation, franchisor-franchisee disputes, securities litigation, breach of contract and fiduciary duty claims, and unfair trade practices matters. She has successfully counseled creditors, debtors, fiduciaries, trustees, business owners and executives, and publicly traded and privately held businesses as plaintiffs and defendants in numerous high stakes matters, including preference and fraudulent transfer claims, director and officer liability, and disputes involving trustees and liquidating trustees.
Katie has served as co-lead counsel in high-profile Title IX litigation and lead counsel in trials yielding multimillion-dollar verdicts, including securing a $1.3 million arbitration award for a franchisee against its franchisor.
