About Marina
Marina Kats built an approach to law that mixes courtroom training and international engagement. She earned a J.D. from Temple University Beasley School of Law in 1988 and returned to Temple for an LL.M. in 1995, where she studied trial advocacy. Her academic record shows early attention to litigation technique and a later commitment to postgraduate legal study.
Kats’s career spans nonprofit governance, international commerce and legal practice across several states. She has served as a trustee of Einstein Healthcare Network, a role that placed her at the intersection of law, health policy and institutional oversight. She also sits on the board of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, where governance duties meet questions about global affairs and public policy. For a period she led an organization that bridges business ties between the United States and Eurasia, serving as president of the Eurasian-American Chamber of Commerce.
Those leadership roles have shaped how colleagues describe her work: careful, practical and oriented toward organizational structures. Her governance experience involves board-level oversight, fiduciary responsibility and interaction with regulatory frameworks that affect hospitals, think tanks and trade groups. She has handled matters that require navigation of corporate rules and nonprofit compliance, often translating broad policy questions into concrete legal steps.
Kats is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. That multi-state admission supports a geographically varied practice and occasional cross-border matters. Her trial advocacy training from Temple’s LL.M. program also indicates courtroom capabilities, and her professional path shows ongoing involvement in institutional decision-making rather than purely boutique litigation.
Outside the office she has participated in civic and policy circles that reflect an interest in international economic ties and public affairs. Her presidency at the Eurasian-American Chamber of Commerce placed her in contact with business leaders, diplomats and legal counsel working on trade and investment issues. On nonprofit boards she has balanced legal questions against operational and strategic concerns.
In recent years Kats has combined her governance roles with active legal practice. She works across Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York and handles matters involving corporate governance, international commercial relations and nonprofit board counsel.
