Prince Lobel has expanded its Media Practice Group with the addition of Kathryn D. Stone. Katie maintains a diverse practice representing clients on intellectual property and media matters, as well as various areas including advertising, marketing & sponsorship issues, digital and social media agreements, sports & entertainment law, FOIA requests and reporter’s privilege.

Katie worked several years for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in both the Romney and Patrick administrations.
