She has handled matters before the Kentucky Public Service Commission, the Kentucky State Board on Electric Generation and Transmission Siting, and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet. She has advised renewable energy clients on project siting, successfully assisting these clients in obtaining the necessary approvals to construct and operate within Kentucky.

Drawing on her extensive background in general litigation, Kathryn helps clients resolve complex legal issues and achieve favorable results in both state and federal courts at the trial and appellate levels.
