Mallarie defends clients in asbestos litigation and other mass tort matters.
Drawn to law as a teen by her interest in crafting arguments and working within a clearly defined system, Mallarie knew from her early law school days that she was meant to be a litigator. She thrives on advocacy and persuasion, and she excels at building winning arguments and creative litigation strategies.
As a law student, Mallarie completed a mass tort clerkship and discovered that she loved the area’s fast pace and emphasis on strategy. Although her initial post-J.D. roles focused on other litigation categories, she eagerly returned to the mass tort world in 2022, working primarily with asbestos litigation and occasional talc cases.
Mallarie has overseen cases in several jurisdictions throughout the northeast, assisting national coordinating counsel teams and managing all aspects of litigation locally. She is the only Husch Blackwell litigator licensed in the state of Connecticut, and she regularly acts as local counsel in a variety of Connecticut matters handled by out-of-state firm attorneys. She also serves as one of the primary deposition takers on the firm’s New England team.
Mallarie is well-acquainted with the network of toxic tort attorneys and has often sat across the table from opposing counsel, or worked alongside co-counsel, on prior cases. Her experience includes third chairing a trial to verdict in Massachusetts—a relative rarity in the asbestos field that makes her the only Massachusetts defense attorney who has tried a case before the state’s new asbestos judge.
With a gift for spotting patterns between cases as well as their unique elements, Mallarie is known for crafting creative strategies based on a case’s points of difference—and for fighting as hard as she can for clients. She’s also built a reputation as a highly responsive attorney who’s good at breaking down complex legal matters in a way that non-attorney clients can readily understand.
