Katie was a key member of AT&T’s DIRECTV trial team in a $4 billion trial brought by the Federal Trade Commission for alleged deceptive advertising. On August 16, 2018, after two weeks of trial, the federal District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed the majority of the FTC’s case, after which the FTC voluntarily dismissed the remainder of its case with prejudice.

In 2019, Katie represented AT&T against false advertising and deceptive trade practices claims in a lawsuit filed by Sprint in the Southern District of New York. Sprint sought an injunction against AT&T’s advertising of certain 5G technologies.
