Akerman attorney David Karp has left the firm to join Carlton Fields in Miami, where he will serve as of counsel to the firm's appellate and trial support practice.

Karp argues appeals in front of the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Florida Supreme Court and Florida's district courts of appeals. Karp also has experience representing companies in class actions and complex litigation.

Before earning his law degree at the University of Florida in 2009, Karp spent 11 years as a reporter and assistant metro editor at the Tampa Bay Times.

"David’s skills as an appellate lawyer and his background in media will further strengthen our team of First Amendment attorneys,” said Richard Ovelmen, co-chair of the firm’s appellate practice and trial support practice group. “We are thrilled that David is joining the firm.”

Akerman did not immediately return a request for comment.
