Kathleen G. Williams

Kathleen Williams regularly handles matters involving toxic torts, product liability, construction accidents and defects, premises liability and other general liability issues. While she is licensed in and actively practices in the state and federal courts of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Kathleen is routinely called on to represent clients in jurisdictions throughout the country. She handles matters from inception through resolution by settlement, dispositive motion or trial and has extensive experience resolving complex matters in which liability is strongly contested through mediation and arbitration.

Working closely with her clients, Kathleen focuses her efforts early on to coordinate the initial fact investigation and develop a litigation and resolution strategy designed to ensure success, as defined by the client. Kathleen understands that clients often prefer quick and cost-effective resolutions over complex and potentially protracted liability cases. To that end, she emphasizes client communication, adherence to client guidelines, proper case staffing, development of a realistic budget, and exploration of alternative dispute resolution options from the outset.

Kathleen held a judicial clerkship in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania with U.S. Magistrate Judges Thomas M. Blewitt, J. Andrew Smyser and former U.S. Magistrate Judge Malachy E. Mannion, currently U.S. District Court Judge.
