About me

Grace represents corporations, boards, and executives in high-stakes commercial litigation across the United States, with particular depth in the disputes that can follow a merger or acquisition — including claims that directors or officers breached their fiduciary duties during the deal process. She also maintains an active practice in class actions and white-collar investigations, and is often brought in when a dispute touches both regulatory exposure and boardroom accountability. Grace trained at a boutique litigation firm before joining Mercier & Valez, and is known for translating dense factual records into a clear narrative for judges, arbitrators, and business clients alike. She has led trial teams in several multi-week arbitrations and is regularly recommended by peers for her work on complex commercial disputes. Grace holds a law degree from Georgetown University and is a frequent panelist on litigation strategy at industry conferences. Outside of casework, she chairs the firm's pro bono litigation committee and mentors a cohort of junior associates each year. Clients describe her as unflappable under pressure, with a rare ability to keep a case moving even when the facts are messy.
