Cory focuses his practice on commercial litigation and other business disputes, assisting and advising clients at various stages of litigation.

Before joining Barnes & Thornburg full-time, Cory served as a summer associate at the firm and as a judicial intern for the Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He also gained appellate procedure and advocacy experience as a student in Georgetown Law’s Appellate Courts Immersion Clinic, where he assisted in writing U.S. Supreme Court and appellate court briefs.

Prior to law school, Cory was a legislative assistant, in Washington, D.C., to former U.S. Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska. He advised the senator on various issues – including agriculture, defense, judiciary, postal delivery to rural areas, and appropriations – and assisted him in securing legislative priorities and working with federal agencies on important administrative decisions. Cory also led communications for a Washington, D.C.-based national health care trade association, including rapid response to legislative and regulatory developments on Medicare, Medicaid and other issues affecting home care, home health, and hospice providers.
