Catarina collaborates with clients in the healthcare, education, and financial industries to help them avoid costly labor and employment litigation and personnel issues. She concentrates much of her practice on the mergers and acquisitions of companies, as well as counseling clients on day-to-day employment matters, including standard policies and employee handbooks, employment agreements, severance agreements, terminations, retention and recruiting practices, disciplinary procedures, and requests for accommodation.

Alongside of her traditional labor and employment work, Catarina is the cofounder of the firm’s Workplace Diversity, Equity & Inclusion practice group. Catarina and her team look at the intersection of DEIA best practices and federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws, providing clients with risk assessments, performing pay equity analyses, offering trainings and drafting strategic, forward-looking DEIA plans.

In her free time, Catarina spends time with her fiancé – who is completing his psychiatry residency in Portsmouth, New Hampshire – and her three dogs and two guinea pigs. Catarina is also passionate about mental and physical health and wellness, specifically as it relates to encouraging women to pursue strength sports, such as weightlifting, powerlifting, and strongman.
