Claudia Pak

Claudia was part of a team that successfully defeated a foreign sovereign’s attempt to resist subject matter jurisdiction in the United States — an issue that was litigated from the federal district court to the U.S. Supreme Court. She helped obtain a multimillion-dollar jury trial victory in a trade secret and unfair competition case in federal court, and she assisted in representing a class of consumer packaged goods companies in an antitrust litigation matter against News Corporation that led to a $250 million settlement. Claudia also assisted in the representation of an outside auditor in a trade secret and breach of contract lawsuit, which resulted in a complete dismissal of the case. Her other notable work includes assisting in the defeat of a billion-dollar judgment against a major Korean corporation in an enforcement effort in New York and assisting in the defense of a Canadian company in a breach of contract lawsuit.

Claudia dedicates significant time to pro bono matters. She has provided legal assistance to numerous low-income clients, including children, on a pro bono basis in connection with asylum, special immigrant juvenile status, U visa and deferred action for childhood arrivals applications. Claudia was instrumental in obtaining visas for two children in Ecuador and their mother in the United States, reuniting the family after years of living apart. In addition, Claudia represented a Holocaust survivor in an effort to obtain pension payments and back payments from the German government resulting from the client’s work in a Nazi-controlled ghetto during World War II.

As a member of Kramer Levin’s Diversity Committee, Claudia aims to raise awareness about diversity, inclusion and multiculturalism in the workplace. She is also a member of the firm’s Attorneys of Color Affinity Group. New York Super Lawyers recognized Claudia as a Rising Star (2017 – 2022).
