Managing Partner
Caragh G. Fay
Caragh G. Fay is the Managing Partner of Fay Law Group and a leading force behind the firm’s continued success. As the next generation of leadership at the firm, she worked alongside her father, founder Thomas Fortune Fay, carrying forward the firm’s decades-long commitment to representing individuals and families facing some of the most difficult circumstances of their lives.
With more than a decade of legal experience, Caragh has developed a distinguished practice handling complex, high-stakes matters involving terrorism claims, medical malpractice, catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, and general negligence. She has played an integral role in securing significant recoveries for victims of terrorism and their families, helping clients navigate extraordinarily complex federal litigation and pursue justice against those responsible for acts of terror.
As Managing Partner, Caragh is at the forefront of Fay Law Group’s client representation and the firm’s future. She combines determined advocacy with a deeply personal approach, taking the time to understand each client, their circumstances, and what is at stake for their family. Her ability to handle sophisticated litigation while maintaining close relationships with her clients has become a defining part of her practice.
Admitted to practice in Maryland and the District of Columbia, Caragh has established herself as a dedicated advocate for those who have suffered serious harm. Whether representing a family affected by terrorism, a patient harmed by medical negligence, or an individual facing life-changing injuries, she approaches every case with the same objective: hold responsible parties accountable and achieve the strongest possible result for her clients.
