Bio
Katherine Dundes is a law clerk at LWD Advisors. She handles client NDAs from start to finish: drafting, reviewing and redlining, and negotiating directly with counterparties, including suppliers, manufacturers, and investors. She runs the contracting process for client accounts from intake to execution and builds custom tools and workflows for client legal teams. She works with clients' business and technical teams to learn the technology and the deal, so she understands the intellectual property each agreement must protect.
Katherine holds a J.D. from UC Law San Francisco, where she served as president of the Technology and Law Society and advised early-stage startups under attorney supervision through the Startup Legal Garage. She holds a B.A. in Sociology and Environmental Studies from Wellesley College. Before law school, she spent three years as a paralegal at the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, supporting consumer protection investigations and mediations involving digital assets, lending, and other financial services. She passed the California bar exam in 2026.
