Katrina Carroll

Katrina Carroll is the founding partner of Lynch Carpenter’s Chicago office and serves as Co-Chair of the Firm’s Executive Management Committee. She graduated from Northwestern University, with honors in political science, and in 2000, received her law degree from Seton Hall University. Katrina has been recognized as one of the top 25 class action lawyers in the State of Illinois and has been named multiple times as a SuperLawyer.

Katrina is committed to pursuing justice and over the course of her 20 year career, she has recovered more than $1 billion for everyday people, investors and businesses. In September 2020, Katrina was appointed to serve as Co-Lead Counsel in the TikTok consumer privacy litigation, one of the biggest data privacy cases in the country. One of Katrina’s other current cases, and one particularly close to her heart, is Steward v. Honeywell, where she represents property owners in a small town contaminated by nuclear radiation.

In Katrina’s words: “I was raised with traditional immigrant values emphasizing hard work, and high standards. These principles guide me daily as I litigate against enormous companies on behalf of people they’ve wronged. Every case is a proverbial David and Goliath situation, and I relish the fight.”

Katrina has been praised as a “model” lawyer by the Honorable Amy J. St. Eve, currently a sitting justice of the Seventh Circuit. She is well-regarded by her peers, regularly mentors younger lawyers and advocates for diversity in the legal profession. As a recognized authority on class action law, Katrina has spoken nationally at many prestigious conferences. She currently serves on the Advisory Board of Loyola University School of Law’s Institute for Consumer Antitrust Studies and on Law360’s Products Liability Litigation Editorial Advisory Board.

When she is not litigating for the little guy, Katrina enjoys cooking, spending time with her two children, and performing mediocre karaoke impersonations of Cher and Lady Gaga.
