Charlotte Bismuth started her legal career at the firm of Debevoise & Plimpton, LLP, and joined the New York County District Attorney’s Office in 2008 as an appellate attorney. In 2010, she transferred into the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor, which prosecutes felony narcotics crimes within the City’s five boroughs. After her work on the landmark manslaughter prosecution of Dr. Stan Li, she left the DA’s office to advocate for victims of the opioid epidemic. In partnership with activists, grieving families, academics, journalists and physicians, Bismuth has called for accountability from Purdue Pharma and other entities responsible for launching the opioid epidemic. Charlotte also serves as a consultant for the Prosecutors’ Center for Excellence, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting best practices in prosecution. She is a graduate of Columbia University, Columbia Law School, and the Instituts d’Etudes Politiques in Paris. She lives in New York City with her husband and children.
