Mackensie collaborates with a diverse set of clients in the broad practice areas of employment and labor and business and corporate and is based in the Iowa City area. Even if she has never encountered a clients particular legal issue before, Mackensie will put in the work to learn about the landscape of their industry and the parameters of the problem. Whether it’s forming a business, navigating a tricky employment complaint, or keeping operations compliant, she meets her clients where they’re at with a dedicated optimism and a stubborn commitment to finding workable solutions. Mackensie views herself as a connector of good people doing interesting things. Her background in communications and public policy informs her approach to dynamic problem solving and client-empowered advocacy.
