Moyenda Knapp

I am an attorney with in-house and law firm experience. I have experience handling employer side employment law, commercial litigation, and ERISA long term disability matters. I have represented employers in employment law matters; plans, administrators, and employers in ERISA long term disability lawsuits; and companies in business disputes. I have defended employers in employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination cases in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies, such as the Illinois Department of Human Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). I draft employment related documents, such as separation agreements, and provide employment counseling. I have represented clients in litigation involving insurance coverage matters, breach of contract actions, Carmack Amendment cases, and matters involving fraud, unjust enrichment, conversion, violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act, breach of non-disclosure agreements, and actions for an accounting. Since 2005 I have been an adjunct professor at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, where I teach two courses: Trial Advocacy and Civil Discovery.
