KATHERINE FORSTER
Partner
Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP
Aseasoned employment practitioner, Katherine Forster has litigated scores of class, collective, and representative actions. She has also particular expertise in helping companies navigate highly sensitive claims for sexual harassment and abuse, gender discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, and pay equity at the pre-filing stage, thereby avoiding any public filing.
Among Forster’s recent matters has been her work defending Activision Blizzard and two subsidiaries in a government action brought by the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) alleging systemic sexual harassment. Her aggressive litigation strategy secured a legal ruling limiting the time period for which CRD could pursue claims, persuaded CRD to drop its pattern-and-practice claims of sexual harassment, and led to a settlement for half of what companies facing similar claims had paid.
