Overview
Kristie LaSalle is senior counsel in the firm’s Boston office, where she focuses her practice on representing plaintiffs in complex antitrust class actions. She brings to the team a decade of experience in complex antitrust litigation, with a particular focus on anticompetitive, deceptive, and unfair practices in the healthcare industry. Her tireless work on behalf of plaintiffs has earned her a reputation among courts and co-counsel as a strategic and creative litigator, with a track record of successes for her clients.
Kristie has experience in all phases of litigation, including drafting and arguing motions, complex e-discovery, depositions, trial, and appeals. She is particularly skilled at marshalling complicated concepts, complex regulatory regimes, and mountains of evidence into a compelling story for judges and juries. And she has represented a diverse array of plaintiffs, including individuals, labor unions, and small businesses against some of the largest corporations in the United States and around the globe.
Kristie graduated magna cum laude from Brooklyn Law School, where she was awarded Order of the Coif, served as Executive Articles & Symposia Editor for the Journal of Law and Policy, and represented the school as a member of both The Moot Court Honors Society’s trial and appellate teams. After law school, she clerked at the Second Circuit before joining private practice and working at two other plaintiffs’ firms.
