Designed to supplement existing professional development programs at LCLD Member organizations and law firms, the Pathfinder Program provides participants with practical tools for developing and leveraging their professional networks, gaining foundational leadership skills, and shaping their career development strategies. Each Pathfinder is matched with a Program Facilitator who assists their Pathfinders in integrating the content of the program with other professional development opportunities and navigating the broader institutional culture at their respective organizations.
Astaphan's practice is concentrated in commercial litigation, including matters involving breach-of-contract, business torts (e.g., fraud and tortious interference), class action defense, and trademark infringement. She also assists clients in disputes involving real property, church property, and franchises. Astaphan received her J.D. from Loyola Law School and her B.A. from Loyola Marymount University.
