CHRISTOPHER CARROLL OF CMK RECOGNIZED AS 2007 HONOREE OF ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE 17^TH ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT 

Charity Event Raised Record-Setting $120,000 Earmarked for School’s Athletic Programs 

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Jan. 18, 2008 – As the 2007 honoree of St. Joseph’s College’s 17^th Annual Golf Tournament, Christopher Carroll, Founding Member of the law firm of Carroll McNulty & Kull LLC (CMK), helped raise a record setting $120,000. Proceeds from the charity event, held at the Sands Point Golf Club in Sands Point, N.Y., are benefiting the school’s wide range of athletic programs held at the campuses’ two locations in Brooklyn and Patchogue, N.Y., according to Sister Elizabeth Hill, President of the College. 

“Chris played an instrumental role in the success of the golf fundraiser,” noted Sister Hill. Carroll graduated magna cum laude from St. Joseph’s College in 1988 and now serves on the school’s board of trustees.  

“At St. Joseph’s, our goal is to prepare each student for a life characterized by integrity, intellectual and spiritual values, social responsibility, and service. Chris continues to do just that. We are immensely proud of him and appreciative of his efforts on behalf of the school,” added Sister Hill. 

A resident of Morristown, N.J., Carroll co-founded CMK in 1997 with Joseph McNulty and Gary Kull, creating a culture based on client service, professional excellence, and trust. The unique philosophy of the firm, which is based in Basking Ridge with offices in New York, has resulted in the impressive growth. CMK now includes 38 attorneys and has plans for further expansion.

The firm’s core practice areas include insurance coverage, construction and surety, insurance defense, commercial disputes and business counseling, employment, and land use. CMK provides legal counseling and representation to clients ranging from Fortune 100 manufacturers, construction companies and insurance companies to closely held corporations, family-owned businesses and individuals.

“I attribute much of my success today to my four years at St. Joseph’s,” said Carroll, who ultimately graduated with his law degree from St. John’s University in 1991. “It is a privilege to be able to give back to St. Joseph’s through my work on the board of trustees and the golf fundraiser.”

Known as a Leader in Legal Community

Carroll, who has earned an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, concentrates his practice on resolving insurance coverage disputes through litigation or alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. He has represented prominent clients in state and federal courts throughout the country, at various levels and in arbitration and mediation proceedings.

Within the legal community, he is often tapped to take on leadership roles in the area of insurance law. In 2004, Carroll was elected by peers to the prestigious Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel, which promotes knowledge, fellowship, professionalism and the course of justice. He also sits on the editorial board of Insurance Law & Litigation Week, a comprehensive weekly briefing on key developments in insurance law nationwide.

Carroll remains committed to social responsibility, another hallmark of CMK corporate culture. In addition to his efforts on behalf of St. Joseph’s College, he currently serves on the board of directors of Freedom House, a non-profit organization in New Jersey dedicated to assisting families with parents who have chemical dependencies.
