Pryor Cashman Partner Katherine Reilly, a member of the firm's White Collar + Regulatory Enforcement Group, was featured in Profiles in Leadership Journal as part of their "Women Worth Watching" series.
In her profile, Kate reflects on her career journey, from aspiring to follow in her father's bankruptcy law footsteps to discovering her true calling during an internship at the U.S. Attorney's Office. She shares how this transformative experience led her to serve over a decade as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, including as Chief of the Complex Frauds & Cybercrime Unit.
Kate highlights the impact of that pivotal summer early in her career:
"The summer I spent at the U.S. Attorney's Office transformed my future. I saw dedicated, talented lawyers work hard to determine what was right and then to do whatever that was, whether it meant bringing cases or declining them, pursuing long sentences or helping people avoid prison. I could not imagine a better job."
Now a Partner at Pryor Cashman, Kate continues to advocate for clients navigating complex legal challenges, drawing on her extensive courtroom and investigative experience. Beyond her professional achievements, Kate supports the New York City Urban Debate League.
