Caroline E. Reynolds focuses her practice on complex civil litigation and white collar defense. 

She has represented corporations, executives, and other individuals in government and internal investigations, criminal proceedings, and civil litigation involving allegations of securities and accounting fraud, antitrust violations, and breach of fiduciary duty.

Caroline also regularly represents both plaintiffs and defendants in complex class action lawsuits, including obtaining certification of a nationwide class alleging fraud and civil violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) against a major insurance company. 

Caroline draws on her extensive experience navigating e-discovery in complex cases to serve as the attorney advisor to the firm’s Litigation Support Group, a role in which she oversees the development of best practices for managing e-discovery throughout the litigation lifecycle.

Prior to joining Zuckerman Spaeder LLP, Caroline was an associate in the Washington, DC office of Covington & Burling LLP. There she represented a major financial institution in multi-district litigation and a government investigation stemming from an alleged complex securities fraud scheme. She also advised companies relating to insurance coverage issues and represented policyholders in insurance coverage litigation, among other representative matters.
