JAMES R. CARTY Associate Contact Information: Telephone: (949) 435-4315 Facsimile: (949) 435-0226 E-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Practice Areas: Environmental and Commercial Litigation Description of Practice: Jim practices in the area of business and commercial litigation. He obtained his J.D., summa cum laude, from The John Marshall Law School in Chicago (2001), where he graduated second in a class of 207 students. He also holds an M.B.A. in Finance from the Keller Graduate School of Management (1998), and a B.A. from Marquette University (1993). While in law school, Jim served as a Judicial Extern to the Hon. Charles R. Norgle, Sr., of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Jim has been named a Southern California Rising Star by Los Angeles magazine for 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009. Southern California Rising Stars are lawyers under the age of 40 who have been in practice for 10 years or less and are chosen as a result of a survey completed by recently recognized California Super Lawyers. No more than 2.5 percent of lawyers in California are named to the Rising Stars list. On November 1, 2004, Mr. Carty delivered oral argument in the United States Supreme Court on behalf of the Respondent taxpayer in Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Banks, Case No. 03-892. The decision is reported at 543 U.S. 426, 125 S. Ct. 826, 160 L. Ed. 2d 859 (2005). The case involved the federal tax treatment, to a civil rights discrimination plaintiff, of the attorney contingent fee portion of a recovery. Although the government prevailed in the Supreme Court, the President, a little more than one week before oral argument, signed into law changes in the Internal Revenue Code granting relief to taxpayers on this issue. Before moving to Southern California, Jim practiced with Mayer Brown in Chicago, in its tax controversy group. Jim also practiced with Cotkin & Collins in Los Angeles, where his practice focused on commercial litigation and insurance coverage litigation, primarily on behalf of policyholders. Jim is a member of the State bars of California and Illinois, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. |
