Laurie A. Holmes is a partner who relocated from our Washington, D.C. office in 2002. Laurie's practice focuses on employment litigation and counseling. Before joining the firm in 1996, she clerked for Judge Truman A. Morrison, III, at the Superior Court for the District of Columbia and practiced at another firm in Washington, D.C.
Laurie has extensive experience in a variety of employment contexts, which include responding to EEOC charges; defending discrimination and other employment-related suits; negotiating and drafting employment and separation agreements; drafting employee confidentiality, noncompetition and invention assignment agreements; reviewing, revising and drafting employee handbooks; and general counseling to ensure compliance with state and federal employment laws. Her clients include nonprofit organizations, startup companies, major corporations, health care systems and individuals.
While at Georgetown University Law Center, Laurie was associate editor of the American Criminal Law Review and participated in the Criminal Justice Clinic. While in college, she studied for a year abroad at St. Clare’s Hall in Oxford, England.
Believing that all litigators are frustrated actors, in her spare time, Laurie has performed with the Georgetown Law School Gilbert & Sullivan Society. She also collects Gone with the Wind and Vivien Leigh memorabilia. |
