Pillsbury—Laurence Lieberman

International Arbitration Partner joins London office

Laurence Lieberman, a Cross-border Disputes and International Arbitration Partner, has joined Pillsbury’s London office. He joins the firm from Taylor Wessing, where he was a senior partner in the Disputes and Investigations team, head of the Life Sciences Commercial Disputes group and India practice head.

“As clients expand into new markets and across borders, their need for seasoned lawyers who can help them navigate complex international disputes and investigations only becomes more acute,” said Firm Chair David Dekker. “Laurence fills that need and more, bringing particular experience with a number of important industries and jurisdictions, and reinforcing the strong litigation team already in place, in London and globally.”

With more than 25 years of experience, Lieberman has expertise in complex commercial litigation and international arbitration, with a particular emphasis on matters connected to the digital health & life sciences, financial services, and technology sectors.

“Laurence adds both depth and new dimensions to our global litigation, international arbitration, and corporate investigations capabilities,” said Global Head of Litigation Debby Baum. “His leadership in large-scale investigations and cross-border disputes, along with his expertise in arbitration and deep relationships in international markets, will be invaluable to our clients.”

“I am delighted to be joining Pillsbury and its growing team of world-class litigators and disputes practitioners,” Lieberman said. “I look forward to helping further solidify Pillsbury’s standing as a go-to firm for complex litigation and arbitration expertise.”
