Catherine is a Senior Associate Attorney with the firm. Her work includes defending healthcare professionals and organizations in complex medical-malpractice claims. She also represents and defends healthcare providers in county jails and state prisons in civil rights claims pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983. Additionally, Catherine represents healthcare providers in various regulatory matters including licensing issues, compliance audits, healthcare related agreements, and other health law issues.
Before joining Foley, Baron, Metzger and Juip, Catherine practiced at two metro-Detroit law firms where she specialized in first-party no-fault insurance litigation. While in law school, Catherine completed a concentration in Health Law and Policy and was the President of the Health Law Society and a Board Member of the Women’s Law Caucus. Catherine’s pre-law school experience includes working as a pharmacy technician in both retail and hospital settings.
Catherine was recognized as a “Rising Star” by Michigan Super Lawyers in 2023 and 2024.
Catherine’s interest outside of work include the love of a 3-year old rescue pup – Bucky, a black lab mix with, as she describes, “plenty of energy!” She also enjoys traveling, has visited six countries in her lifetime, and is constantly adding new places to visit to her bucket list. Her favorite country experience was sandboarding in the Atacama Desert, Chile! (Google it – this looks awesome, although she will agree it was a lot easier going down than going up!)
In her downtime, Catherine enjoys spending time with friends and family as well as doing DIY home renovation projects. She recently gutted a local condominium and totally refurbished the interior. She now calls this project, “home,” and can’t thank her mother enough for all of the love and support she received, not to mention the manual labor, during this DIY project!
