About Katherine
Katherine Blostein is an attorney admitted to practice in New York who works in employment and labor matters. She earned her J.D. from New York Law School in 2007 and began her legal career after graduation. Her education provided a foundation in litigation and employment law that has shaped the direction of her practice.
Over the years Blostein has maintained an active presence in professions tied to workplace law. She holds current memberships in the New York State Bar Association Department of Pro Bono Affairs, the National Employment Law Association, the National Employment Lawyers Association/New York Affiliate, and the Section of Labor and Employment Law of the American Bar Association, where she participates in the Contracts & Executive Compensation Subcommittee of the Employment Rights & Responsibilities Committee (ERR). Those affiliations reflect a steady engagement with both statewide and national conversations about employment standards, litigation strategy, and policy developments.
Her approach to cases is grounded in practice rather than theory. She handles disputes that arise from the workplace and the employment contract, and she spends time on matters that touch on executive compensation and contractual obligations. Her committee work on contracts and executive compensation signals an ongoing interest in how agreements are drafted, interpreted, and enforced in employment settings. She has worked on individual and collective issues that involve wages, contract interpretation, and workplace protections.
Colleagues describe Blostein as methodical in preparing cases and pragmatic in assessing risks. She tends to break complex employment disputes into discrete legal and factual questions. That habit helps when deciding whether to pursue litigation, arbitration, or negotiated resolution. Her involvement in professional associations has also given her regular exposure to evolving standards and case law in labor and employment practice.
Outside of direct case work, Blostein's participation in the New York State Bar Association Department of Pro Bono Affairs signals an interest in public service and in making legal help available to people who might otherwise lack access. Her national association memberships connect her to networks that track changes in employment law across jurisdictions and in federal practice.
She practices in New York and continues to handle employment-related matters, including disputes over contracts, executive compensation, and workplace rights. She focuses her practice on employment law matters in New York.
