Chapters

Indianapolis

The Indianapolis Chapter of the Women's White Collar Defense Association was founded in November, 2015 by Kathleen ("Katie") Matsoukas, Vice-Chair of Barnes & Thornburg LLP's White Collar & Investigations practice group. Katie started the Indianapolis chapter after relocating from Chicago (where she was a member of the Chicago chapter) to her hometown of Indianapolis, where she saw an opportunity to connect women practicing in the white collar areas both with each other, and with a national referral network.

Its growing membership boasts some of the most distinguished and experienced criminal defense practitioners in the city, and includes women representing individual and corporate clients in a variety of areas, including anti-corruption/FCPA, antitrust, healthcare, insider trading, securities, and cybercrime. The chapter meets quarterly.
