Patricia Zapata Latzer is Of Counsel and Co-Lead of the firm’s Mass Arbitration practice group.  She represents consumers in complex mass arbitrations against major corporations. Her practice focuses on arbitration strategy and high-stakes consumer disputes, including matters involving the enforcement and interpretation of arbitration agreements and procedural rules.

Before joining Lowey Dannenberg, Patricia was a litigation associate at an Am Law 100 firm, where she represented corporate clients in complex commercial disputes and employment misclassification disputes. Her experience on both sides of the litigation landscape gives her a strategic perspective in pursuing claims against sophisticated defendants.

She has handled cases involving the interpretation and application of arbitration rules and has developed substantial experience navigating large-scale coordinated proceedings.
