Tiffany L. Carwile is a partner at KJK whose practice centers on commercial litigation, with a particular focus on appellate advocacy, employment disputes, class and collective actions, and complex civil litigation in both state and federal courts. She brings more than 15 years of litigation experience to her clients, combining a deep command of procedural strategy with a track record of success at the trial and appellate levels.
Tiffany advises and represents employers, businesses, and individuals across a broad range of employment and commercial matters, including workplace discrimination and harassment claims, wage and hour disputes, FMLA and ADA compliance, non-compete and trade secret litigation, intellectual property claims, and complex contract and business disputes. She has particular depth in appellate advocacy, having successfully argued cases in front of the Ohio Supreme Court, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, along with successfully defending against certiorari petitions in the Supreme Court of the United States.
