Greenberg Traurig Adds Partner

Greenberg Traurig added Carla R. Karp as a partner in Florham Park. Karp came from Goodwin Procter, following Glenn S. Kerner and Nilda M. Isidro, who joined Greenberg Traurig as pharmaceutical, medical device and health care litigation and products liability litigation practice partners in New York last fall. Karp handles pharmaceutical, medical device, and consumer products litigation, including mass torts and multi-district litigation. "We are delighted to welcome Carla, a highly skilled attorney with whom we have enjoyed working on several matters as defense co-counsel," said Lori G. Cohen, vice chair and practice leader at Greenberg Traurig, in a statement. At Goodwin, Karp worked with Kerner and Isidro in their capacity as national counsel for Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., supervising local counsel and coordinating the national litigation strategy. She also helped represent Smith & Nephew Inc. and Zoll Medical Corp. Karp, Kerner, Isidro and a Greenberg Traurig team jointly led the legal defense group in a coordinated California proceeding against 12 different manufacturers of heart medication Amiodarone, the release noted. Karp said in a statement: "The resources available to our team—including Greenberg Traurig's renowned global platform of collaborative attorney talent—are unparalleled, and I look forward to achieving many important victories for clients together." Karp received her J.D. from Fordham University School of Law and her B.A. from Fairfield University.
