Caroline’s experience involves clients from diverse industries including consumer products and services, energy, healthcare, and higher education as well as a broad range of civil disputes including discrimination, breach of contract, defamation/product disparagement, misappropriation of trade secrets, and consumer protection claims. She also defends clients in government enforcement actions alleging violations of federal statutes and regulations and assists clients in evaluating and asserting challenges to federal regulatory action under the Administrative Procedure Act.
