Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, P.C. (“HP&M”) is pleased to announce that Karin Moore has become its newest Director. Drawing on her years of experience as a former general counsel to leading trade associations, Karin is an industry expert and thought leader in the areas of food and beverage, personal care products, household products and beverage alcohol who can anticipate issues, aid in client innovation and transformation, and mitigate the multitude of risks to those clients.

Before that, she practiced antitrust law as Counsel at O’Melveny & Myers LLP where she focused on antitrust litigation, civil and criminal investigations, and federal and state class action defense.

She earned her J.D., from George Mason University School of Law and her B.A. from Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
“During my time at Grocery Manufacturers Association, I worked with so many wonderful people and companies in the CPG industry, and I am excited to continue to support them at HP&M. The depth and breadth of technical expertise and industry knowledge that HP&M offers will allow me to continue to work with an industry I love, and to further broaden my own expertise,” said Ms. Moore.
