About Karen P.
Karen P. Wackerman built a legal foundation in the Northeast. She graduated from Smith College in 1979 and earned her J.D. from Brooklyn Law School in 1985. Those early years set the stage for a career that has moved between private practice, firm counsel roles and community service.
She began her legal career in 1985 as an associate at Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, a firm now known as Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman. That role introduced her to firm-side practice at a large national firm. In the mid-1990s she served as a clinical professor, a position that indicates a turn toward legal education and mentoring, though the record does not list the institution.
Wackerman’s practice then shifted to a series of in-house counsel and of-counsel roles at Connecticut firms. She was Of Counsel at Cohen and Wolf beginning in 2003, joined Cummings & Lockwood LLC as counsel in 2008, and later served as counsel at Jeffers Cowherd, P.C. in 2014. In 2016 she took on a counsel role at Pullman & Comley, LLC. Records also show an association with Wackerman Law, LLC starting in 2010.
Her memberships and volunteer roles run alongside her practice. She has been involved with the Fairfield County Bar Association for years and has served as Co-Chair of its Business Law Section since 2013. She belongs to the Connecticut Bar Association and the American Bar Association. Locally, she has been active with the Fairfield Network of Executive Women, where she once served as Publicity Chair, and with the Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County, Inc., where she has held leadership as a former chairman of the board. She was also a member of the Greater Bridgeport Bar Association during 2013–2014.
Wackerman is licensed to practice in both Connecticut and New York. Her career path shows steady movement between firm practice and advisory counsel roles, suggesting experience in transactional and business-related legal matters. She has combined practice, teaching and civic involvement across Connecticut’s legal community.
As of the latest records, she has worked in the Pullman & Comley office and remains engaged in local bar activities. She practices in Connecticut and New York, concentrating on business law and related transactional matters.
