About Katherine J.
Katherine J. Hwang practices law across two of the country’s busiest state systems. She is admitted to the bars of California and New York and maintains a private practice under her own name. Her work draws on the demands of each jurisdiction and the differences between them.
Her career is anchored in private practice. She opened the Law Office of Katherine J. Hwang to serve clients whose matters touch more than one state. Over the years she has handled cases and transactions that required attention to both California and New York law.

Her caseload reflects the practical complications of cross-jurisdiction work. She manages transactional matters, negotiates contracts, and addresses disputes when they arise. She advises on regulatory questions that differ between states and on procedural issues that can affect strategy. Her files often involve coordination with counsel in other jurisdictions and careful attention to choice-of-law and venue questions.
Clients and colleagues describe her approach as methodical. She lays out options plainly. She explains trade-offs and the likely next steps in litigation or negotiation. That steadiness is useful in cases where state law differences can change both timing and outcome. She has handled matters that required detailed pleadings, drafted agreements intended to work in more than one state, and worked through the practical hurdles of cross-border discovery and enforcement.
She continues to run the Law Office of Katherine J. Hwang and serves clients who need help under either California or New York law. Her current practice focuses on advising and representing clients in matters that arise under California and New York law.
