Kathleen Anne Neher

Since then, Kathleen has done similar pleading preparation, document management and production, and she has provided hearing support in commercial litigation matters, with most of her experience in securities arbitrations.  She recently resumed handling foreign trademark registrations and renewals for corporate clients.  She supports our tax attorneys by doing legal research, case briefing, preparing property tax appeal documents, and doing research regarding properties and special assessment districts.  She has monitored trials at the request of clients.

Kathleen is experienced with trial exhibit display software (Sanction); document management software (Summation);  and case management software (CaseMap).  She has extensive on-line legal research experience (WestLaw & Lexis).  She frequently researches internet data bases and court resources (Pacer).  She is able to work with Excel and she uses Access while working on trademark matters.  She has prepared PowerPoint presentations for hearings and presentations.  She is both a PC and Mackintosh user.

As a senior paralegal, Kathleen has supervised clerical staff, billable technicians and other paralegals.  At most of her places of employment, she has assisted with the formulation of office procedures to manage cases, keep files organized and otherwise increase the efficiency of the team.

One of the partners with whom Kathleen works recently wrote, “ Kathleen stepped in quickly to a project which involved numerous renewals and recordations of name changes in connection with foreign trademark registrations.  There were severe time constraints on some of the filings.  She is very organized and caught on very quickly to the procedures for meeting the deadlines.  She is very conscientious and is good about keeping me informed.  As a result of this experience, Kathleen has honed her organizational skills and has become very comfortable with interacting with foreign counsel and foreign requirements.”
