Commercial litigator Kathryn L. McCann applies her experience in large, complex civil litigation, including class actions involving financial fraud and corporate torts, to represent companies and municipalities of all sizes. Clients benefit from her in-depth case management skills and strategic litigation roadmaps that prioritize clients’ business goals and budgets. Kathryn helped found and launch Annaguey McCann in 2023 to shift the profession toward delivering more value to clients through closer, collaborative and responsive representation. Her litigation practice includes a range of business disputes, from fraud, contract and partnership disputes to real estate litigation and defense of consumer class actions.

Kathryn is known for her impact as an assertive and principled litigator whose focus on fleshing out the facts and crafting compelling arguments lead to favorable and pragmatic outcomes. In addition to extensive trial court experience, Kathryn also has an enviable record of lower court matters being upheld by California state and federal appellate courts. To that end, Kathryn has briefed and argued appellate cases before the California Court of Appeal, the California Supreme Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

In her counsel to large municipal authorities regarding civil rights, rates and other issues, Kathryn is always mindful of the duty to safeguard taxpayers’ funds and the public implications of decisions, actions and outcomes.

Kathryn also has experience representing large corporate, institutional clients in real estate, banking and other matters. Clients large and small value her ability to streamline cases, avoid expensive detours, and craft creative resolutions to lawsuits.

Kathryn is an alumna of Loyola Law School and Florida State University. She serves as a volunteer judge in her law school’s trial advocacy and moot court programs. She has been named to the Southern California Super Lawyers “Rising Stars” list, selected to the Los Angeles Business Journal’s “Women of Influence: Attorneys” list in 2022 and 2024, “Thriving in Their 40s” issue in 2023, and “Leaders of Influence: Litigators & Trial Attorneys” in 2024.
