With over twenty years of complex civil litigation experience in both State and Federal courts, Karin A. Middleton leads the Baudino Litigation Team. Her practice includes successfully mediating cases for her clients, as well as trying numerous cases to verdict in both State and Federal courts across the state of Georgia.
In addition, Kari’s practice includes appellate work in both the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and the Georgia Court of Appeals, where she has been responsible for both briefing the issues presented to the courts as well as oral argument.
Kari’s practice currently focuses on defending health care clients in various types of litigation, including antitrust, general civil matters, employment law and government regulatory. Additionally, her experience as a litigator is extended to our healthcare clients as she counsels on employment law matters, transactional matters encompassing strategic planning and regulatory compliance, as well as various corporate matters in an effort to minimize their litigation exposure.

Based on her extensive experience in trial work involving various areas of law that affect the daily operations of healthcare organizations, Kari adds value to our healthcare clients’ businesses and litigation needs.
Personally, she enjoys spending time with her family and serving the Albany community.
