Robert Botkin helps clients of all sizes, from Fortune 50 companies to startups, navigate their legal needs tied to privacy, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning. He is the leader of Parker Poe’s AI Services Team and is known for his ability to translate complex technical concepts and issues into actionable tasks that clients can use to establish effective governance programs in a rapidly changing legal landscape.

Clients turn to Marci Norton to navigate the complex statutes and regulations administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Caroline McCracken focuses her practice on complex business litigation in state and federal courts. She handles a variety of commercial disputes, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair trade practices, arbitration agreements, and consumer protection claims.
