Karen’s practice evolved and matured during an unprecedented time in the technology industry. She was there for the dot-com boom in the 1990s, and she was there when the bubble burst. She was there when outsourcing became popular as a way to save money, and she has seen it evolve toward enabling businesses to center on core competencies. She was on the front lines when the automobile industry came together to form an online business-to-business trade exchange. She was in the trenches during the rise and fall of WorldCom. She has witnessed the emergence of today’s household-name technology giants, and she has represented clients in transactions involving many of those same technology giants.
The summa cum laude graduate from Western Illinois University in 1986, Karen went on to obtain her J.D. from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law. She was consistently honored by Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers, being named the 2023 Lawyer of the Year in Information Technology Law by Best Lawyers.
