Michelman Robinson has appointed Daniel Burbeary as office managing partner of its London office, reinforcing leadership as the firm continues its international expansion. Burbeary was the firm’s first official solicitor hire in the UK and the first partner to join the London office, playing a central role in establishing and integrating the platform into the firm’s global strategy.
Admitted in England and Wales, Burbeary focuses on cross-border litigation and international arbitration, with particular expertise in complex fraud and asset recovery matters. He has represented clients across multiple jurisdictions, including Africa, China, Russia and former CIS countries, and is regularly instructed on high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional disputes.
Chairman and co-founding partner Sanford Michelman said: ‘Dan has been instrumental in establishing our London presence and shaping the office into a key part of the firm’s international platform… His leadership, global perspective, and deep experience in complex cross-border matters make him exceptionally well suited to lead the office through its continued pattern of growth.’
Burbeary added: ‘I’m honoured to take on this role at such an exciting time for the firm… We’ve built a strong foundation in London, and I look forward to continuing to grow the platform while deepening our integration across offices and delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.’
