Kate provides employers with valued guidance when they are faced with the challenging questions that arise during all stages of an employment relationship. She counsels employers on rapidly developing issues in labor and employment law, such as the use of artificial intelligence in employment, wage and hour developments, worker classification questions, and federal, state and local discrimination and harassment laws.

Kate stays abreast of the pressing employment issues of the day so that our clients receive timely, thorough and compliant information when developing workplace policies or making employment decisions. Though Kate strives to work with management to develop practical solutions and strategies that minimize risk and exposure to litigation, Kate also has experience successfully litigating employment related matters to trial.  

Prior to joining Florentino & Grimshaw LLC, Kate worked as an attorney for the Employment Law Unit of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, where her work focused on management-side litigation and navigating legal issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. During law school, Kate served both in the private and public spheres, working at New York City-based law firms and with the Legal Aid Society of New York.
