Ms. Carpenter has defended employers in a broad range of employment law issues, including discrimination claims, termination claims, and the representation of government contractors who are parties to whistleblower actions. Much of Ms. Carpenter's practice focuses on the representation of insurance producers where she is able to combine her expertise in employment law with her expertise in professional liability claims. She has handled hundreds of civil matters to successful conclusion either by dismissal or appropriate settlement, and has been lead counsel for multiple trials and arbitrations.
