Sarah C. Schmitz

Sarah approaches business litigation with a focus on clear communication and strategic advocacy. She helps clients resolve disputes efficiently with practical, results-oriented solutions.

Sarah represents clients in complex commercial and employment litigation at every stage, from initial case assessment and pleadings through written discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial. She has extensive experience drafting dispositive and high-stakes motions, including motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, and motions for preliminary injunction. Her written advocacy has produced meaningful results for clients: she helped obtain summary judgment that disposed of multiple claims, and she secured a preliminary injunction in federal court.  

Sarah brings courtroom experience to every matter. She was part of a trial team that secured a complete defense verdict following a seven-day jury trial. Sarah was an instrumental part of the trial team, where she prepared witnesses to testify, briefed motions in limine, directed a witness, and helped to argue jury instructions. Her courtroom insight also comes from her time as a law clerk in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas, where she observed trials and hearings firsthand, gained an insider's view of federal practice and procedure, and sharpened her written advocacy.
