“I am very impressed with her. She's got a lot of potential.”

- Chambers 2024

Caitlin manages a diverse docket ranging from energy industry giants and financial market mainstays to private clients and elite law firms. Caitlin is recognized in Chambers USA - Securities Litigation Nationwide “Associates to Watch,” (2024).

Caitlin is a member of the trial team that secured resounding victories for PIMCO in two precedent-setting matters in California and New York. These decisions ultimately affect billions of dollars of RMBS securities. Working alongside David Sheeren on these bellwether cases, Caitlin’s skillset was on full display as she solely presented an entire oral argument for PIMCO and the other aligned investor parties on August 4, 2023, in Orange County, California following which the Court issued an order granting summary judgment entirely in PIMCO’s favor. This victory called off a long-planned August 2023 trial setting and is significant for many reasons, including that, until now, no court has ever ruled on this issue.

Caitlin has a burgeoning niche practice for the firm’s private and law firm clients. She recently handled three high-stakes probate matters, including representation of a charitable foundation faced with allegations of lack of capacity and undue influence; and drafted a successful motion to compel arbitration in a suit accusing an Am Law 100 firm of malpractice and other misconduct.

Caitlin serves as the firm’s pro bono liaison and is the Executive Director of the Rikers Debate Project and co-founded the Houston Chapter in 2019. Caitlin is a 2024 ALM “Influential Woman of the Year” Finalist.
