About Katherine B.
Katherine B. Oberlies built a steady path from undergraduate study to the courtroom. She earned her B.A. from Florida State University in 2012 and continued her legal education at The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law, where she received her J.D. in 2018. Those years framed a clear trajectory: an interest in public affairs and law that translated into a multi-jurisdictional legal career.
After law school, Oberlies entered practice and joined Parker MacIntyre as an associate. She has since worked across the firm’s matters while maintaining bar admissions in Georgia, the District of Columbia and Maryland. That set of licenses reflects a practice that crosses state lines and the federal legal landscape. Colleagues describe her as steady in litigation preparation and exacting in research and drafting.
Her day-to-day work covers the routine and the urgent. She prepares pleadings, drafts motions and briefs, and conducts the legal research that underpins those filings. She also counsels clients on procedural issues and case strategy, keeps track of discovery schedules, and coordinates with expert witnesses when cases require technical input. The role requires attention to detail, an ability to manage multiple dockets, and frequent communication with clients and opposing counsel. Oberlies handles those demands in firm matters that arise in the jurisdictions where she practices.
Oberlies’s education and early career choices reflect a lawyer comfortable with both advocacy and analysis. The training she received at Columbus School of Law emphasized legal writing and process. At Parker MacIntyre she has applied that training to the firm’s caseload while gaining experience in court procedure and client representation. She participates in case planning sessions and contributes to the factual and legal development of matters from intake through resolution.
Outside the office, Oberlies has stayed connected to legal communities in the regions where she is admitted. She has worked on cross-jurisdictional filings and coordinated with local counsel when matters touch multiple states. That practical experience has shaped a pragmatic approach to problem solving: identify the issues, map the procedural path, and prepare the materials a judge or regulator needs to make a decision.
As an associate at Parker MacIntyre, Oberlies continues to handle a range of matters for clients across Georgia, the District of Columbia and Maryland. Her current practice is focused on serving clients through litigation support, legal research and case management at her firm.
