Carlos J. Rosario is of counsel to Trujillo & Winnick LLP. He leads community outreach and case evaluation for the firm’s California data center community-impact practice, with an initial geographic focus on the San Jose and Bay Area market and Southern California. His engineering background and deep familiarity with technology infrastructure make him particularly well-suited to evaluate claims involving data center operations, AI infrastructure, noise, emissions, and community harm.
Carlos J. Rosario brings a background in complex litigation, high technology, business disputes, and public service. His experience includes work as a litigator at large law firms, in-house legal roles at major technology companies including Google and Yahoo, and sustained public service, including as Chair of the San Jose Planning Commission and as a member of Santa Clara County’s Health Advisory Commission.
Carlos’s legal experience spans complex civil litigation, business transactions, government relations, intellectual property, patent litigation, employment, civil rights, and business disputes. He brings an engineering and computer-science perspective to matters involving technical evidence, data systems, and infrastructure — including data center, AI infrastructure, and telecommunications-related litigation. He received his B.S. and M.S. in Computer Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Southern California before earning his J.D. at Santa Clara University School of Law.
He has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star (2016) and as one of the Silicon Valley Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 (2021). In his spare time, he volunteers on the boards of Sacred Heart Community Service, Bellarmine College Preparatory, and the San Jose District 2 Neighborhood Leadership Council.
