Extracurriculars

​

Karen founded Mulberry Law, bringing together a collective of skilled legal professionals with diverse experiences and wide-ranging personalities. One thing they all agree on – Grilled Cheese Law was a close second for the firm name but ruled out in an effort to be inclusive and welcoming to our lactose intolerant clients. Karen lacks real hobbies, owing to her office-centric inclinations (she does occasionally take out her technology related frustrations on unsuspecting garden weeds). While Karen, in her professional life, is excessively friendly and talks more than any other living human, in her personal life, she avoids all activities that require her to leave her house, opting to hibernate with her equally reclusive husband and daughter. Karen dreams of winning the lottery to spend her days lounging and drinking beer (specifically IPAs) with tiny cocktail umbrellas and a side of Skittles (which she insists go well together). But probably still at home.
