In addition, she was experienced in representing employers during various stages of employment disputes, including investigations, internal appeals, mediations, arbitrations, and unemployment hearings.

She also provided representation in the field of commercial and business litigation, including claims for breach of contract, indemnification, and statutory claims, such as those brought pursuant to the Massachusetts consumer protection statute.
