Civil Litigation

200 W Monroe St #2025, Chicago, IL 60606, USA

I’m Kristi Browne, a Partner at Patterson Law in Chicago. I focus my practice on business litigation, legal and financial professional malpractice, fraud, class actions and employment law, including representing medical residents being unfairly treated by their programs. I really enjoy digging into a complex case, especially when someone else couldn’t figure it out before the client came to us. In one case another attorney had represented the client through a jury trial and lost. I successfully moved for a new trial and won a jury verdict for the full amount claimed. In another case, I tackled the problem of avoiding nationwide discovery in a legal malpractice case regarding patent proceedings. That case also presented some significant hurdles in calculating damages for lost opportunities. In the end, I achieved a $32.2m jury verdict that was upheld by the state appellate and supreme courts. The law plays an important role in protecting the rights of minorities, LGBTQ individuals and people with disabilities, including kids. As both a parent and a minority, these causes are important to me, so I support them with my time and expertise. I’m responsible for Operations and Diversity and Inclusion at Patterson. Because I’m also passionate about helping young lawyers become great attorneys, I act as a mentor both at our firm and around Chicago. Driven by a strong undercurrent of justice, I aspire to deliver the best possible result for clients based on their situation. A “win” often means more than simply winning a judgement. A master of creative thinking, I can weave a successful resolution from even the most complex cases. I have been named an Illinois Leading Lawyer in commercial litigation and one of Chicago’s Notable Women Lawyer’s by Crain’s Chicago Business for 2018.
