Experience:
Ed Carlson came to maritime law by a somewhat circuitous route. After graduating
from Northwestern University with a degree in literature, Mr. Carlson spent five
years in Philadelphia, where he wrote for The Philadelphia Inquirer and other
publications. He then devoted two years to a social agency for immigrants in
Philadelphia, where he worked as the Community Outreach Director, acting as a
liaison between immigrants and attorneys, and linking work-authorized clients
with corporate employers seeking bilingual employees. This work exposed Mr. Carlson
to the judicial system and prompted his decision to attend law school.
While obtaining his law degree from Temple University School of Law, Mr. Carlson
spent one summer working as a summer associate for a law firm in Bangladesh and
then studied one semester at Tsinghua University School of Law in Beijing. While
in Beijing, he worked for a Chinese firm that specialized in energy and commodities
shipping disputes. Having discovered shipping law, Mr. Carlson then pursued a
master’s degree in maritime law at Tulane Law School, completing his LLM
degree in 2008.
Mr. Carlson will be active in all phases of the firm's practice.
