Profile
The capital markets transactions Kate handles span various industries, although she has developed a niche representing physician groups, health systems, and health technology companies in mergers and acquisitions and regulatory compliance matters. Many deals she closes are often the most significant events in companies’ lifecycles. Because of close relationships she forges with clients during M&A, joint venture, IPO, venture capital financing, public and private placements, and SPAC transactions, she often continues to serve them as outside general counsel once the deals are done.
Kate gets her energy from working with companies in transition and leading first-in-class deal teams, and the two go hand-in-hand. Properly counseling clients in buy-sell-investment situations takes a group of talented, sometimes multidisciplinary groups of attorneys all rowing in the same direction.
Kate helps clients explore different pathways to their ultimate growth or exit objectives, assembling a capable crew of Dykema professionals to get them there. She’s also the managing member of the firm’s Milwaukee office.
