Her experience and insight are matched by a keen sense of what is right and practical, and that makes her an ideal colleague. Kate’s government work blends well with many of our service areas, and we are excited to see her grow the practice.” As counsel for Governor Patrick, Kate provided advice within the governor’s office and throughout the executive branch on legal, regulatory, and policy matters, and worked on a wide range of issues affecting the citizens of Massachusetts. She has also worked as an attorney in the City of Boston Law Department and as general counsel to the Massachusetts Senate Ways and Means Committee.
