Wirth also has experience responding to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Better Business Bureau National Advertising Division (NAD) inquiries on behalf of her clients.

"Carolina's experience handling complex regulatory issues for companies in the life sciences industry is an outstanding fit for our firm," said Kevin Bell, Porzio’s Regional Managing Principal of the DC office. "She's an excellent addition to our growing DC office and her practice will be an excellent benefit to our client across the firm and our subsidiary companies."

Wirth received her  J.D. from Boston University School of Law and her B.S. from John Jay College of Criminal Justice.  She was recognized as a 2016 and 2017 Washington, D.C. "Rising Star" in the area of Food and Drugs by Super Lawyers magazine and recently nominated for a seat on the D.C.

Porzio's DC office has grown significantly since opening its doors in 2014, with a 35% increase in revenue as reported in April 2017 by the National Law Journal. The office now includes 8 lawyers, who focused primarily on intellectual property matters in the nutraceutical industry.
