Catherine S.
Owens

Catherine Owens is an experienced litigator and trial attorney who has represented clients in both state and federal court.

Catherine has nearly 10 years of experience across all aspects of complex commercial and intellectual property litigation, including breach of contract, tortious interference, common law fraud, securities fraud, RICO, patent infringement and trade secret misappropriation. She has represented both individuals and corporations in federal jury trials, state bench trials, arbitrations, and appeals to the Ninth Circuit and California appellate courts.

While Catherine is often opposing litigators far her senior, she has developed creative litigation strategies that have led to significant client wins. Catherine listens to her clients and then does everything in her power to achieve their desired outcome. But what sets Catherine apart is that she becomes personally involved with the business interests of her clients because she truly cares about their success. Her clients know that she is in it with them.

Before joining Larson, Catherine was a litigator at a large international law firm in Los Angeles, where she focused on patent and commercial litigation. She also served as a law clerk to Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap in the Eastern District of Texas from 2018-2019. As a clerk, she worked on a variety of cases—many of which went to trial—including breach of FRAND, patent infringement, and employment discrimination. She also accompanied and assisted Judge Gilstrap on four cases (one civil, one criminal, and two immigration) when he sat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit by designation in Pasadena.
