Katie Ashby-Koppens
Civil Litigator and Human Rights Lawyer
Katie has been a civil litigator for over 20 years, first in New Zealand and then in Australia. As a generalist civil litigator at first Katie cut her teeth in employment, medico-legal, regulatory dispute work before specialising in class actions and large matters.
In mid 2021, Katie took a sabbatical for a year. In taking some time away from the construction team she was working for in Melbourne, Katie became concerned with what she saw as significant breaches to fundamental human rights and the failure to uphold corner stone principles of the law.
Cutting the sabbatical short, Katie joined Voices For Freedom New Zealand, a grass roots organisation that assisted thousands of people who were mandated out of work and suffering other human rights violations, as their head of legal.
Katie has been involved in many of the cases around mandates in New Zealand and the mRNA Covid19 products on both sides of the Tasman. Katie was legal case manager on the kids’ case in New Zealand, which is when she met Julian Gillespie and Peter Fam (through mutual experts).
Following which she quickly threw her support behind the AVN and Babies Cases in Australia when she joined PJ O’Brien & Associates.
More recently Katie is the solicitor on the record for the GMO case against Pfizer and Moderna in Australia and has been actively engaging US, New Zealand and Australian governments to inform them on the UN and WHO Pandemic Treaties.
Katie’s focus is to ensure that the injustices and breaches of the fundamental legal principles that have occurred over the last four years not be allowed to occur again: for humanities sake, history cannot repeat.

What a warrior! Thank you Katie for all your dedication to this important cause.
Katie I completely understand the need to take a sabbatical, our son in law was working in the construction industry in Melbourne and was a perfectly healthy young man who wasn't able to work for a year, since that time he has resumed work, once the mandates were dropped, sadly some of his coworkers have had heart issues after complying with the mandates. Thank you for all the work you are doing to make sure this doesn't occur again to healthy fit Australians choosing between an experimental new drug and being able to feed their families! I am hoping and praying that those guilty will be punished one day!
