International firm Crowell & Moring has strengthened the London office with the appointment of Laurence Winston as a partner and co-head of the international dispute resolution group.
Laurence has spent the last 18 years with Squire Patton Boggs, where he served as head of litigation. He is highly experienced in commercial litigation and arbitration, advising banks, asset-based lenders and other financial institutions on domestic and cross-border disputes. His areas of expertise include obtaining freezing injunctions, search and seizure orders and other forms of emergency relief; he also specialises in data and cyber security, and handles banking and investment disputes and employee fraud cases.
Robert Weekes, managing partner of the firm’s London office, commented: ‘Laurence is a tremendous addition to our London office. I have worked with Laurence for many years and I know him to be an excellent strategic problem solver for clients. He will be a huge asset to this firm. We are growing strategically in London and have plans for additional targeted growth.’
‘I am thrilled to join such a high calibre firm and look forward to expanding its cross-border litigation and international arbitration capabilities,’ added Laurence. ‘This is a wonderful opportunity to join a group that is clearly on the move in the London legal market.’
