Adams Joins McCarter & English's White Collar Team
McCarter & English has announced that Christopher Adams has joined the firm's white collar litigation team in Newark as partner. Adams brings more than 25 years of white collar and civil litigation experience, having represented high-profile defendants, including elected officials, athletes, candidates for public office, political campaigns, and many mid-to-large business organizations, the announcement said. He joins the firm from Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis.
Adams concentrates his practice in the areas of criminal defense, internal investigations, attorney ethics matters, and complex commercial litigation. He defends physicians in both federal and state court, as well as before the Board of Medical Examiners. Adams has also served as the general counsel of a highly regulated private corporation. He is currently defending "John Smith" in New Jersey's first AI-related civil suit involving deepfake photos.
"We are very proud and excited to welcome Chris to McCarter. As a seasoned trial attorney and trusted advisor to his clients, Chris has built a national practice and has an exceptional reputation within New Jersey and well beyond," said firmwide managing partner Joseph Boccassini in a statement. "He will bring greater depth and prominence to our already strong white collar group and broader litigation practice and serve as a tremendous advocate for our clients."
