Karen works with clients who have considerable and usually complicated finances. She is also a Rule 114 qualified mediator in Minnesota.

She has assisted public company business executives, including those from Fortune 100 companies, regarding executive compensation, vested and unvested stock options, restricted stock interests, deferred compensation, and a variety of other qualified and non-qualified employee benefit plans.

In addition, Karen assists clients in navigating complicated tax issues and in developing strategies related to property division, child support and spousal maintenance in family law cases. She is skilled in marital and non-marital property claims in marriage dissolution matters and in prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, as well as in negotiating to settlement, and litigating when necessary, a substantial number of multimillion dollar and high-stakes marriage dissolution matters.

A fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, Karen also serves as a moderated settlement conference referee and as a Hennepin County financial early neutral evaluator.
