Kathrine A. Oldham

Senior Counsel


An exceptionally gifted writer who excels at crafting powerful and persuasive arguments, Katie Oldham represents insurers and other clients in complex and consequential litigation involving a wide range of claims and coverages.

While Katie's litigation practice includes commercial, contractual, and tort matters, she is particularly well-versed in the unique challenges involved in insurance coverage disputes. Not only does Katie develop and implement litigation strategies that anticipate and address all possible contingencies, but her experience seconding at a major insurer has made her acutely attuned to her clients' needs, priorities, and concerns. Her substantial and varied coverage experience allows her to quickly analyze claims, identify issues, and develop effective and efficient case strategies to achieve early and favorable resolutions.

Passionate about protecting her clients' interests and personable when providing guidance and counsel, Katie represents both domestic and foreign insurers in matters arising out of a broad spectrum of insurance policies, including commercial general liability, excess liability, pollution liability, property insurance policies, D&O policies, and property and builders risk policies. Katie also frequently provides coverage advice and coverage analyses to insurers across a wide range of policies.

Katie has extensive experience defending insurers in coverage litigation relating to claims under commercial property policies, including property damage and business interruption claims and insurance coverage disputes related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I know how much the matters that come across my desk mean to my clients, and I also understand how my work impacts their bottom lines. Along with the close relationships I build, this motivates me to do everything I can to get the best possible result.
