In a strategic move to bolster its litigation capabilities, law firm Thompson Coburn has announced the addition of Adam Toosley and Laura Ellis Kugler as partners in its litigation practice. The firm revealed the appointments this Monday, signifying its commitment to enhancing its expertise in key litigation areas.
Adam Toosley joins the business litigation practice based in Chicago. His legal expertise encompasses representing diverse clients such as lenders, owners, contractors, and suppliers in disputes that range from payments and foreclosures to defects, fraud, and bond claims. His practice includes representation in courts, arbitration, and mediation settings.
Laura Ellis Kugler becomes part of the mass tort litigation and product liability team in Dallas. Kugler brings a wealth of experience handling cases involving products, premises, employment, and professional liability. Notably, she has served as national coordinating counsel for defendants involved in high-stakes asbestos and talc litigation.
Kugler transitions to Thompson Coburn from Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, a move that further solidifies her expertise in complex litigation settings. On the other hand, Toosley’s background and specific insights into the diverse challenges faced by the business sector position him as a valuable asset for Thompson Coburn’s growing practice.
