Carrington M. Giammittorio

Carrington Giammittorio's practice focuses on government and internal investigations and associated class action litigation. Carrington’s experience with government enforcement as well as complex, private litigation makes her uniquely suited to guide companies and individuals though parallel and iterative proceedings—helping her clients build a solid defense on all fronts. She is a strong advocate for her clients and routinely manages complex legal disputes with a sharp eye and a steady hand.

Carrington has extensive experience with securities law, often sitting across the table from both the Securities and Exchange Commission and U.S. Department of Justice, but her experience extends to a variety of other highly regulated industries. In addition to the SEC and DOJ, Carrington has helped clients respond to inquiries from government agencies such as the Texas State Securities Board, FINRA, the National Transportation Safety Board, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and the Consumer Products Safety Commission. Further, her experience with complex class actions related to these heavily regulated industries allows her to manage investigations without compromising (or contradicting) the defense of simultaneous or follow-on private litigation. Her experience with clients in these industries also allows her to serve as key resource on regulatory issues up to and through trial.

When not serving clients, Carrington is committed to arts, philanthropy, and mentorship. She is a 2025 Fellow of the Business Council for the Arts’ Leadership Arts Institute, an initiative which brings together emerging leaders and art lovers throughout the Dallas Metroplex to develop skills necessary for arts organization governance and stewardship. She also serves on the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation Advisory Council, having previously served as its National Chair. She is also passionate about fostering the professional development of current undergraduate students at her alma mater and provides advice to students interested in law school and the legal profession through the University of Virginia’s Alumni Mentoring system.

At the University of Virginia School of Law, Carrington was the inaugural Law, Psychiatry, and Public Policy Fellow and served as an Articles Editor for the Virginia Journal of Criminal Law. These are interests she continues to leverage in her pro bono work with the firm, focusing on the intersection of law and mental health in both the criminal and civil context, including in capital matters.
