Kathryn Querner Expands Employment Litigation Team at Payne & Fears

Kathryn Querner has joined Payne & Fears LLP as an Associate in the firm’s Employment Litigation Group, based in the Irvine office. Her background as a law clerk gave her a strong foundation in legal analysis, assisting judges in Oregon and Ohio on complex legal decisions.

“I am pleased to welcome Kathryn to the firm.  She is a 2022 graduate of University of Virginia School of Law and comes to the firm following a clerkship with the Hon. Jacqueline S. Kamins of the Court of Appeals of Oregon,” said Amy Patton, the group’s co-chair. “Kathryn will add depth to our already strong group of associates. We are excited to work with her.”
