Caroline Nutter Duffy

In a prestigious career that spans more than two decades, Caroline Duffy has handled programs from crisis communications to consumer introductions to corporate speech writing and beyond. A founding partner of Jackson Spalding and a member of our Management Team, she has been a leader for some of the firm's largest clients, including Delta Air Lines, Publix Super Markets and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. She was also the creative maestro who managed Ashley Smith, the young mother who came to fame after accused killer Brian Nichols took her hostage following the Atlanta courthouse shootings.

Her work earned public relations’ highest honor — the Public Relations Society of America Silver Anvil - for The Atlanta Dream Team which supported Atlanta’s bid for the 1996 Olympic Games. She also has been recognized with national awards from Inside PR magazine and Women in Communications Inc., and by the Florida and Georgia chapters of the PRSA.

She has served two terms on the board of trustees at St. Martin’s Episcopal School and Sophia Academy. She also serves on the Advisory Board for the Auburn University School of Public Relations.

Caroline enjoys combing through antiques shops, and in “another life” was an actress in musical theatre. One of her greatest memories is singing her way across Poland before the fall of The Iron Curtain. These days, she spends much of her time backstage, assisting in the dramatic endeavors of her two sons.
