Prior to joining Whitaker Chalk, Kathleen was Vice President, Deputy General Counsel of Alcon Inc. She has over 23 years experience in the Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Consumer Product areas.

Major Strategic Transaction. Negotiating, drafting, conducting the due diligence and closing Acquisitions, Joint Ventures, Alliances and Intellectual Property Transactions.
Regulatory and Marketing Advice. Specializing in the Technology, Life Sciences and Healthcare Industries, she focuses on helping clients manage the entire product life cycle discovery through product development and production, to global marketing and distribution.
Supplemental Special Counsel. Serving as supplemental counsel for companies that have in-house counsel but have a specialized project or a temporary need for additional capacity that does not warrant the addition of another full time attorney. For example Whitaker Chalk can fill the role of Intellectual Property Counsel, Corporate Finance and Security Counsel, Employment Counsel or Litigation Counsel where a company does not have that expertise or need extra capacity.
Outsourced General Counsel. Serving as outside General Counsel for companies and institutions and advising them on all issues affecting their business. This gives clients the advantage of having access to a senior legal advisor with broad in depth business and legal experience and familiarity with their business without the cost of maintaining an in house legal staff. It provides the company with proactive representation, identifying risks before they become a liability and facilitating the transaction of business.
