Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP has fortified its litigation practice in New York by recruiting Daniel Curran and Maria Kortmansky. The addition of these two partners is part of Pillsbury’s strategy to strengthen its capabilities in handling complex litigation cases.
Daniel Curran, known for his expertise in high-stakes commercial litigation and regulatory disputes, joins from McKool Smith. His robust background includes significant experience in handling intricate cases across various sectors, which is expected to augment Pillsbury’s standing in the New York legal market.
Maria Kortmansky, formerly with Kobre & Kim, brings specialized knowledge in cross-border investigations and enforcement actions. Her proficiency in navigating multi-jurisdictional legal challenges is seen as a vital asset for Pillsbury, especially in addressing the growing client demands for comprehensive litigation support. More details on the recruitments can be found in the original Bloomberg Law article.
This move is consistent with broader industry trends where law firms are bolstering their litigation teams in anticipation of increased legal proceedings post-pandemic. With a sharpened focus on litigation, Pillsbury is positioning itself to handle an anticipated rise in caseloads, particularly in areas like financial services and technology, which are expected to see heightened legal activity.
The strategic acquisition of Curran and Kortmansky underscores Pillsbury’s commitment to expanding its presence and influencing significant legal outcomes in New York, a key hub for international litigation activities.
