ATTORNEY SPOTLIGHT

Get to Know Caroline Herter

What inspired you to pursue a law career?

I have always loved communication and logic, and both are crucial to the practice of law. However, what inspired me to take the first steps towards becoming an attorney was an urge to change injustice and advocate for those who were wronged by the greed of others. 

What skills do you draw upon when it comes to your specific practice areas?

Above all, the skills I find myself using the most are those in investigation, communication, and creativity. Oftentimes in the areas of fraud and asset recovery specifically, bad actors are sophisticated and use complex schemes to cover up their wrongdoing. Fact investigation is crucial in order to piece together evidence from various sources and unravel these schemes. In addition, due to the international reach of Sequor’s practice my Spanish language skills often come into play. Creativity is especially useful as well. Many matters I’ve worked on have unique facts and challenges with no precedent on point to provide a straightforward solution, requiring inventive approaches.
