Angela L. Carr

Angela L. Carr is a co-managing partner at Barton Gilman LLP in Providence, RI, with a practice focused on medical malpractice defense, professional liability, and healthcare litigation. Carr represents physicians, hospitals, and healthcare providers in negligence claims and licensing matters. These matters can require attention to written agreements, legal obligations, and the consequences of decisions made early in the process. The attorney addresses the particular issues involved, from assessing the available information to considering procedural requirements and possible courses of action.

Carr’s educational background includes a J.D. from Northeastern University School of Law and a B.A. from Providence College, cum laude. That academic preparation informs work on medical malpractice defense, professional liability, and healthcare litigation by providing a grounding in legal reasoning and the analysis of detailed records. The training is applicable to interpreting contracts, understanding statutory or procedural requirements, and evaluating the factual questions a matter presents. It also supports the careful communication of legal issues to clients dealing with consequential decisions.

Carr works on matters such as trial verdicts defending medical professionals, patient-safety counseling, and Title IX investigations. These issues often involve substantial records, differing legal positions, or several parties with competing interests. An effective response calls for understanding the documents and chronology, identifying the controlling questions, and considering the available procedures. Whether a matter is advisory or contested, the legal work must account for both immediate requirements and possible longer-term consequences.

Angela L. Carr has a professional background marked by her co-management of the firm and recognition in Best Lawyers for medical malpractice defense and healthcare litigation. In each engagement, Carr focuses on the documents, facts, and legal rules that matter to the issue presented. This often means explaining complex questions in terms of the choices and obligations facing the client.
