Overview
Katy Penick is an attorney at Josephson Dunlap LLP representing workers in wage and hour disputes under federal and state law. She handles cases involving unpaid overtime, misclassification, off-the-clock work, and related violations in both individual matters and class and collective actions across the country.
Before joining Josephson Dunlap, Katy built her litigation background across several areas of law including first-party insurance disputes, employment law, antitrust, and personal injury. She was elected shareholder at Hendershot Cowart P.C. prior to her transition to plaintiff-side work, bringing with her a thorough understanding of case analysis, discovery, and trial preparation developed across complex commercial disputes.
That range of experience gives her a broad perspective on litigation strategy and informs how she approaches wage and hour cases on behalf of the workers she represents.
