Kennedy is an Associate in Benesch’s Litigation Practice Group. She focuses her practice on complex commercial litigation and white collar matters.
Before joining Benesch, Kennedy clerked for the Honorable J. Philip Calabrese of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. This experience provided her with invaluable insight into the federal judiciary as she observed and helped facilitate all aspects of the legal process from the perspective of the court. The clerkship also exposed her to a wide variety of issues, including federal jurisdiction, civil rights, employment disputes, intellectual property, multidistrict products-liability litigation, and criminal pretrial motion practice and sentencing.
During law school, she served as Executive Symposium Editor for the Case Western Reserve Law Review and represented clients as a certified legal intern in the First Amendment Clinic. She also worked as a teaching assistant to Professors Jennifer Cupar, Jonathan Adler, and Katharine Van Tassel.
Beyond litigation, Kennedy is an award-winning writer with articles published in the Case Western Reserve Law Review and the Arizona Journal of Environmental Law and Policy.
