Meet Boston Maritime Attorney Carolyn M. Latti

Carolyn Latti is a partner of the law firm of Latti & Anderson LLP and one of the few female maritime Plaintiffs’ attorneys on the East Coast. Carolyn focuses on admiralty law, representing those who work on or around the sea, such as fishermen, dockworkers and merchant seamen as well as passengers of nautical vessels such as yachts, boats, ferries and cruise ships..

In 2001, Carolyn won the honor of being in the 10 Massachusetts Lawyers of the Year by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, and cases she has tried have twice been featured in its “Top Ten Verdicts of the Year.”

Carolyn attributes her success to approaching law from a perspective of compassion and understanding. The daughter of Boston maritime attorney Michael Latti, her summers as a child were spent on Cape Cod, sailing, fishing, working on the water and building her own firsthand experience with the sea. As the youngest of four children, she often found herself having to argue her way out of trouble, sometimes facing down bigger and stronger siblings to make sure she was heard.

What Carolyn enjoys most about maritime law are the relationships that she develops with her clients and their families by immersing herself in their story as much as she can. Carolyn is so dedicated that she will even go out and study the scene of an offshore accident to have first hand facts about a client’s case. She marries her own success with the success of her clients and her results both in and out of the courtroom show how effective that can be.

Family is one of the most important things to Carolyn, which is why she has always been willing to work so hard to protect it. A family woman herself, she is married and lives with her husband, a former Assistant District Attorney, and their children. One of Carolyn’s favorite ways to spend time with them is to jump in the kitchen with them and whip up something delicious or watching her children competing in sports.
