Chair of Eversheds (International) LLP and Co-Chair of Eversheds Sutherland's Global Board

Kath is the Chair of Eversheds (International) LLP and Co-Chair of Eversheds Sutherland's Global Board.

Kath is a Trustee of the Eversheds Sutherland Charitable Trust and also sits on the firm's Inclusion Council.

She was formerly Senior Office Partner of Eversheds Sutherland's Cardiff office. She was also on the Real Estate Executive, with specific responsibility for People and Technology.

Kath is Client Partner for one of the firm's priority clients, working with the Client Service Team to oversee the delivery of Group Legal, Investor, Real Estate Investor and Equity Release services.

She is also Relationship Partner for Konexo Real Estate’s largest clients: the team delivers higher volume conveyancing services for Real Estate clients, and residential conveyancing services, for some of the firm's largest Financial Services clients.

The Konexo Real Estate team also includes a Projects team which provides support to the rest of Eversheds Sutherland on high volume legal projects.

Having served on the CBI Wales Council for several years Kath was CBI Wales Chair during 2021 and 2022. Kath has also been made an Honorary Fellow of Cardiff Metropolitan University for her contribution to the legal and business sector and work on diversity.

Kathryn spent the first several years of her career specialising in Professional Negligence litigation. Following that she managed a large mortgage litigation team and more recently a team providing high volume conveyancing services to large Financial Services clients; this team is now part of the Konexo division of Eversheds Sutherland. The team deals with circa 2,000 transactions per month and is supported by two Williams Lea teams in India. The team’s significant investment in its operational and project management, case management and process reviews means that it is ideally positioned to deliver high quality and cost effective services for higher volume conveyancing product lines and more routine higher volume projects for the wider business.

During the course of her career, Kathryn has presented at various public and client conferences and events. These include:

  • BBC and Channel 4 television interviews
