ABOUT
Natalie Klyashtorny
Natalie, who leads our litigation team, is a trusted and familiar presence in Philadelphia’s legal circles. In addition to maintaining her robust legal practice, she has played a significant leadership role in the Philadelphia legal community and has extensive experience as an attorney in the region. Clients value her not only for her legal acumen but also for the confidence that comes from knowing that when she walks into a courtroom she most likely has already appeared before the presiding judge, knows opposing counsel, and understands how to work with them both.
Originally from Ukraine, and fluent in both Russian and English, Natalie brings a broad worldview to her work, balanced by a passion for serving the Philadelphia community. When she is not advocating for her clients, you will likely find her traveling, relaxing by the ocean, or exploring the latest additions to Philadelphia’s vibrant food and cultural scene.
