Carrie works on the firm’s Privacy + Cyber team, defending retailers, hospital systems, financial services companies, and gaming industry clients in complex litigation arising from data incidents, privacy claims, and technology disputes, as well as other commercial litigation and class action matters. With more than two decades of trial experience in both state and federal courts, she brings a litigator’s instincts to matters where the stakes are high and the legal landscape is still taking shape.
Carrie’s litigation practice spans the full lifecycle of a dispute: pre-suit strategy and negotiation, dispositive motions, discovery and depositions, trial, and appellate work in the Sixth and Third Circuits, as well as courts throughout the U.S. Her privacy and cybersecurity work includes defending putative class actions tied to alleged data breaches and disputes over the use of advertising and analytics technologies on client websites. Carrie has achieved significant defense victories in this space, including work on a first-of-its-kind summary judgment win for a hospital system in Maryland. She also has experience defending clients against RICO claims. Before joining the firm, Carrie served as primary counsel in call recording litigation for a financial services client, the type of work that draws on privacy law, consumer protection statutes, and the procedural demands of federal litigation.
Carrie spent six years at a civil legal aid organization in Southwest Ohio, where she handled housing and consumer litigation and represented children as attorney/guardian ad litem in juvenile dependency proceedings. That experience managing multiplaintiff federal cases sharpened both her advocacy skills and her sense of what clients actually need from their attorneys.
Active in her community, Carrie has been involved with the YWCA, Girls on the Run, and a successful campaign to expand a Spanish immersion program in her Ohio school district.
