About Carin
Carin Brio practices law across several Midwestern and Northeastern states. She is admitted to the bars of Illinois, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Massachusetts, and she balances litigation and alternative dispute resolution work across those jurisdictions.
Her career reflects steady, state-by-state expansion of practice. She holds a Rule 31 listing as a mediator in Tennessee, a credential that signals formal recognition for handling court-referred mediations in that state. That listing complements her roles as counsel and neutral in a range of matters that require parties to find practical solutions outside a courtroom.
Brio is an active member of the Knoxville Bar Association. She participates in local bar activities and professional programs in Tennessee. That engagement places her among colleagues who practice in both litigation and ADR, and it keeps her tied to developments in state procedure and court rules.
Her work spans appearances and filings in multiple state courts. Being licensed in four states allows her to advise clients whose legal needs cross state lines, and it enables coordination on matters that involve conflicting rules or parallel proceedings. She handles the procedural and logistical challenges that come with multi-jurisdictional practice, often coordinating with local counsel when cases require it.
In Tennessee, her Rule 31 listing means she accepts appointments as a court-referred mediator and conducts private mediations. She brings the procedural familiarity that courts expect when they designate mediators. Parties and lawyers who prefer an experienced mediator for settlement conferences may arrange sessions with her through the usual court or private channels.
Brio operates under the name Law Office of Carin Brio and maintains multiple offices under that banner. Her practice structure supports clients who need counsel in different places or who prefer the convenience of an office near them. She fields matters that arise in the states where she is admitted and coordinates filings and appearances accordingly.
Her approach is practical and document-driven. She works to resolve disputes through negotiation and mediation when possible, and proceeds to contested litigation when circumstances require it. She writes and files dispositive papers, handles settlement conferences, and manages the procedural calendar across jurisdictional lines.
She practices as the principal of the Law Office of Carin Brio and maintains her Rule 31 mediator listing in Tennessee. Her current practice centers on mediation and multi-state legal work in the jurisdictions where she is admitted.
