Overview

Carmine Iannaccone is Managing Director Emeritus of Epstein Becker Green. For decades, prior to his retirement from active practice in February 2024, he was employers’ go-to trial lawyer in high-stakes litigation involving wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.

Widely regarded for his extensive courtroom experience in jury trials, Carmine was an aggressive advocate who never hesitated to fight for Fortune 500 pharmaceutical and utility industry companies. His combination of skill, persuasion, and personality swayed juries to see a case from the employers’ point of view.

In addition to his long track record of success as a litigator, Carmine served for many years as Epstein Becker Green’s Managing Director and spent four years as Vice Chair of the firm’s Finance Committee.
