Biography

Kate Dunnington, class action attorney serving Louisville

Kate Dunnington is an attorney based in Louisville, KENTUCKY. The practice focuses on Class Action, Personal Injury, and Product Liability. Kate has over 15 years of legal experience. Currently practicing at Kate Dunnington Law PLLC. Kate works from Louisville, Kentucky and takes on class action matters across the region.

I’m the founder of Kate Dunnington Law, PLLC, a litigation practice focused on two core areas: representing clients in complex, catastrophic injury cases and partnering with law firms as co-counsel on eDiscovery matters. I have had the privilege of representing clients in high-stakes litigation involving mass torts, medical and nursing home negligence, product liability, and other catastrophic injury cases—helping secure over $100 million in recoveries. As part of my work as an advocate, I developed a passion for eDiscovery. What sets my eDiscovery practice apart is that I approach it as a seasoned litigator. I understand how discovery strategy shapes the outcome of a case, and I bring that courtroom-informed perspective to every matter. I work with firms that need strategic support navigating discovery challenges—whether as co-counsel or behind the scenes. I earned both my Bachelor of Science and J.D. from the University of Louisville, where my early interest in science and technology took root. That passion continues to drive my work at the intersection of law, data, and innovation.
