Biography
Caryn represents businesses, non-profits, municipal entities, and individuals at trial and in alternative dispute resolution proceedings throughout the Pacific Northwest and the state of Alaska. Caryn’s practice focuses on complex civil litigation including commercial disputes, aviation, catastrophic tort, and product liability matters. Having tried cases and handled appeals in federal and state court for more than 25 years, Caryn brings a deep level of experience to all stages of complex civil litigation. Caryn earns the trust of her clients and their senior management by being a skilled strategist who ensures her clients’ business objectives drive resolution strategies and litigation decisions (and not the other way around).
As head of Stokes Lawrence’s Aviation Group, Caryn leads a team of litigators with deep aviation industry knowledge. She provides sophisticated and effective representation in a wide range of aviation-related matters in Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. Caryn handles commercial and tort litigation for a number domestic and international airlines and Part 135 operators. Her practice includes emergency response support, consultation in NTSB accident investigations, and regulatory compliance proceedings for Part 121 and Part 135 operators. Her aviation practice also includes product liability matters for aircraft and component part manufacturers.
In addition to her complex civil litigation and aviation practices, Caryn applies her extensive experience to her role as a mediator and arbitrator. Caryn completed the Pepperdine Straus Institute’s Mediating the Litigated Case program and is certified as a Rule 39.1 Neutral in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington’s Alternative Dispute Resolution program.
When not litigating or serving as a neutral to help others avoid or resolve disputes, Caryn values opportunities to mentor and train young lawyers. She frequently presents on trial skills, aviation, and product liability topics and has served as faculty in NITA’s trial skills program in Seattle and the IADC Trial Academy.
