As a trial attorney with a strong winning record, Carolyn is not afraid to take a case to trial where appropriate. Although Carolyn enjoys trying cases, she is particularly skilled at negotiating with enforcement authorities before charging decisions are made to optimize outcomes for her clients. While in private practice, Carolyn has represented both individuals and companies facing government enforcement action. In one year, Carolyn convinced federal prosecutors to dismiss three separate indictments. In light of her multidisciplinary health-care enforcement background, Carolyn is routinely called upon to defend individuals and companies operating in the health-care sector (providers and manufacturers), who are under criminal inquiry or may be facing a civil (False Claims Act) action.

Carolyn also counsels companies faced with sensitive legal and practical problems relating to suspected cybercrime, cybersecurity breaches, economic espionage, health-care regulatory breaches, and anti-corruption matters. Carolyn has experience in designing and operating corporate compliance programs, particularly those operating in challenging international environments, such as India, where she has spent significant time supervising compliance matters.
