Schwabe is proud to share that MaryAnn Ivie has been honored with the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA) Paralegal of the Year award. MaryAnn, a Senior Paralegal in our Litigation Practice Group, is an invaluable trial team member and her experience and creativity are key to delivering outstanding legal services to our clients. 

With over 30 years of paralegal experience, MaryAnn is skilled in all areas of complex litigation and has a strong knowledge of state and federal court rules, including electronic discovery submissions in federal court cases.

“This award is a testament to MaryAnn’s dedication to our clients and the Schwabe attorneys that she works with. While we Schwabe litigators have always known that MaryAnn is a rock star, it is really exciting to see her effort and quality being recognized nationally.”
