Catherine Meulemans helps her clients resolve commercial and business disputes. She has particular experience assisting financial institution clients faced with a variety of lawsuits, including contractual disputes; various claims related to lender liability, fiduciary duty, and fraud; and litigation involving financial instruments.
In addition to her banking practice, Catherine also works with various other corporate entities – franchises, public utilities, real estate companies, insurance companies, municipalities and governmental agencies, start-ups, Fortune 500 corporations, and more – to investigate and resolve multi-party commercial, contract and tort disputes, employment claims, partnership disputes, unfair competition and trade secret claims, and a broad range of real property claims, including foreclosure, receivership, quiet title, and mortgage fraud actions. She has litigated, tried and settled disputes in both state and federal courts.
A skilled courtroom advocate, Catherine understands the financial and strategic costs that lawsuits can inflict on all parties involved in a dispute. That’s why she helps her clients avoid litigation, when possible, by investigating potential claims before they become lawsuits, by providing training seminars as a preventive measure to avoid lawsuits, and by recommending early settlement of claims when that is in her clients’ best interest.
Catherine has been a mediator in the San Francisco Bar Association’s Early Settlement Program, where she helped people settle disputes outside of the courtroom. She is a member of the California Real Estate Women (CREW).
