January 4, 2022 (Louisville, Kentucky) – Stoll Keenon Ogden PLLC (SKO) is proud to announce the attorneys and staff of McMasters Keith Butler Inc. have joined the firm in its Louisville office, effective January 1, 2022.
McMasters Keith Butler Inc. was founded in late 2009 as an all-woman law firm by Beth McMasters, Karen Keith and Ashley Butler. Since then, the firm has established itself as one of Kentucky’s most experienced and successful healthcare litigation firms. The firm has been certified by Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). “Beth, Karen and Ashley are highly skilled trial lawyers who bring with them extensive and comprehensive experience in defending medical providers and all other aspects of healthcare law,” explained Doug Barr, SKO’s Managing Director. “We are very excited about the valuable skill set they bring to SKO.”
Beth McMasters said, “When my partners and I decided our clients could be best served by our lawyers and staff joining a large, full-service law firm, we researched our options and consulted our clients and concluded SKO was our best choice. Joining SKO will allow us to continue to practice our cases aggressively and creatively but with additional, more comprehensive support and resources. We are gaining immediate access to lawyers with experience in all aspects of corporate, healthcare, employment and many other areas of legal services, allowing us to provide our clients with more comprehensive solutions. Meanwhile, we will be able to continue to focus on providing top-tier defense in complex medical cases.”
“In establishing an all-woman law firm, Beth, Karen and Ashley made a clear statement that excellence in the practice of law may be pursued and achieved in creative, non-traditional ways, from diverse perspectives, based upon a clear set of values. It turns out we share a set of primary, core cultural values including the constant pursuit of professional excellence in the practice of law and service to our community and families. At the same time, we highly value the unique, creative perspective our new partners will add to our Firm. We expect their cultural impact on SKO will make us a much stronger firm,” said Barr.
