As a trial lawyer and lead partner of Kirkland & Ellis’ Houston litigation practice, I have successfully represented both plaintiffs and defendants in state courts, federal courts and arbitrations throughout the United States. I have accumulated significant first-chair trial experience in business disputes, representing both large and small companies, environmental and products liability cases, and in restructuring-related litigation, representing both debtors and creditors. I also advise boards, in house counsel and company executives on litigation and corporate governance considerations, in close collaboration with the Firm’s transactional attorneys.I am honored to have played a leading role in hallmark cases shaping the energy industry in recent years, my work for which has been recognized by Texas Lawyer’s “Women in Energy” and Law360’s “10 Influential Women in Energy” lists. I am also proud to be one of Benchmark Litigation’s “Top 100 Trial Attorneys” in the country and one of its “Top 250 Women in Litigation.” I graduated with honors from Harvard Law School and the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. My education reflects my international perspective; I am fluent in Spanish and French and have counseled clients on issues arising in North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. My trial experience and language skills uniquely position me as counsel for international companies of all sizes seeking representation in Texas.I am an active leader in the legal community, having served as president of the Federal Bar Association for the Southern District of Texas and of the Harvard Law School Alumni Association of Houston. I am currently the co-vice chair of the Houston Chapter of the Women in Law Empowerment Forum. Within Kirkland, I lead the Women’s Leadership Initiative in the Houston office and serve on the Firmwide Administration Committee, Associate and Partner Compensation Committee, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and Special Fee Arrangements Committee.
