Charity has been with the firm for two years and oversees the firm’s litigation in the Northeast region of the U.S. She has built a presence for Columbus, Ohio-based Perez Morris in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, along with her team in Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts, rooted in diversity, philanthropy and justice. Her core practice includes aviation-related litigation, premises liability, commercial transportation and motor vehicle liability, premises liability, and insurance fraud investigation. She also spent more than two decades litigating complex toxic tort claims.

“I am extremely humbled to be selected as a Fellow by this incredible organization that has performed such important research to address diversity and equal justice, education and critical questions at the intersection of law and society,” said Charity Hyde. “Throughout my career, I have strived to lead by example and give back, and this opportunity allows me to focus on areas of the law and society itself that are incredibly important to me while servicing the needs of my clients.”
