Becky Schwartz is a Kansas-City based partner at Shook, Hardy & Bacon, LLP. Becky has specialized in both products liability complex litigation and privacy-related consumer class actions and since joining Shook in 1999. She represents clients in dozens of state and federal courts, including many federal MDL and state court coordinated proceedings. After Becky’s practice became increasingly focused on discovery-related negotiations, disputes, and motion practice, Becky chose to join Shook’s Data & Discovery Strategies Practice Group in 2021. Becky earned her BS at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, and her law degree at UMKC (#roosdo). She had the privilege of serving as a law clerk to Hon. Fernando J. Gaitan Jr. (W.D. Mo.) before putting down roots at Shook. Becky has two grown sons of whom she is incredibly proud. She and her husband Jeff live in Lee’s Summit with their big black dog, and in their free time love to play at their farm, a very spontaneous pandemic-purchase located near Warrensburg.
