Katie Cusack

Throughout my legal career, I have worked with individuals as well as small and large businesses across a variety of industries.  In each of my cases, I have found my work incredibly meaningful as I work with clients to find solutions to difficult or even daunting problems.  

After graduating law school in 2017, I practiced as part of a nationally ranked firm and practice group in Washington, D.C. where I represented American industries in unfair trade investigations in international trade.  During this time, I gained valuable experience representing businesses and associations through the course of investigations and reviews by government agencies and appeals to the federal circuit.  I also represented several clients on a pro bono basis in immigration and trademark matters.   

I strongly believe that the best way to represent a client is to know the client’s perspective, concerns, and goals.  Based on that philosophy, prior to moving to Asheville, I worked with a start-up business to better understand the needs and concerns of small businesses.  I am proud of my experience helping large and small businesses navigate legal questions and concerns.  

While new to Asheville, I have spent several years living in North Carolina and graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Law, where I served as Editor in Chief of the North Carolina Journal of International Law, a Student Participant in the UNC Intellectual Property Clinic, Fundraising Chair for the Veterans Advocacy Legal Organization, and a Mentor for Women in Law.  

I like to spend my free time hiking with my dog, skiing, rock climbing, traveling, or checking out a new brewery.
