Samantha focuses on labor and employment matters.

Samantha’s passion for labor and employment law emerged during her legal studies, where she took every employment-related class available. Her interest is driven by the field’s universal relevance: everyone has experience as an employee, making it a field with challenges every business faces. She provides both preventative counsel and litigation defense and has a particular interest in the unique issues faced by educational institutions.

The Supreme Court of the United States granted certiorari on January 17, 2025, in A.J.T. by and through A.T. v. Osseo Area Schools, Indep. Sch. Dist. No. 279, 96 F.4th 1058 (8th Cir. 2024), cert. granted sub nom. A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools, No. 24-249, 2025 WL 226839 (U.S. Jan. 17, 2025). At issue is whether students with disabilities are required to satisfy a “bad faith or gross misjudgment” standard when seeking relief against school districts they allege have violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
