Katheryn also helps employers investigate workplace misconduct, harassment, and discrimination, and take effective remedial action to avoid costly lawsuits.

Katheryn is experienced in preparing executive employment agreements, effective covenants not to compete, and trade secret and intellectual property agreements.

Katheryn provides interactive Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) training to managers, including anti-harassment and diversity training, and frequently speaks at employment law seminars.
