He has represented Fortune 500 companies, as well as medium- and small-sized employers in both federal and state courts, and before federal and state government agencies.  These matters have included class actions, multi-plaintiff, and single-plaintiff cases involving discrimination on the basis of disability, age, sex, sex harassment, race, national origin, and other protected classifications filed under various federal and state statutes, as well as wage-and-hour matters across the country.

Mr. Carty also co-chairs the firm’s Appellate Team.  In this role, he helps clients navigate a variety of appellate and other post-trial issues in federal and state courts throughout the United States.  He is on the Board of Advisers for the Academy of American Legal Writers, and served on the critical-reading panels for Black’s Law Dictionary (Ninth Edition) and Garner’s Modern American Usage (Third Edition).
