Kristen is a multifaceted litigator who focuses her practice on complex commercial disputes, M&A litigation and government investigations for clients ranging from private equity and fund clients, start-ups, and Fortune 500 companies. Her clients rely on her strategic business advice and sound counsel to address and resolve their most pressing business issues.
