MACKENZIE WATSON

MacKenzie focuses her practice on litigation, employment, and labor law.  She represents both employees and employers in contract disputes, severance agreements, and charges of discrimination. She also aids small businesses in creating operating and employment agreements.  As a prior educator, MacKenzie is always thrilled to get a case focusing on issues educators face in their own school corporations.

​

MacKenzie graduated from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, where she was the Senior Executive Editor of the Indiana Law Review. MacKenzie also joined the Robert H. Staton Intramural Moot Court Competition, was an active member of Women’s Caucus, and participated in the Immigration Clinic at Indiana Legal Services.  While at JBJ, MacKenzie has been published in DTCI’s Indiana Civil Litigation Review Volume XVI 2019: The False Claims Act.​
