Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP
and Robert L. Lieff Announce the Creation
of Lieff Global, LLP |
| October 24, 2006, San Francisco, CA – Robert L. Lieff, founder of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, and Steven E. Fineman, managing partner of Lieff Cabraser, announced today the creation of Lieff Global, LLP, effective January 1, 2007. |
| Lieff Global will represent survivors and families of victims who died in domestic and international aviation and maritime accidents, as well as foreign citizens in other types of actions. Lieff Cabraser and Lieff Global will jointly litigate such actions. Mr. Lieff will direct Lieff Global and will become Of Counsel to Lieff Cabraser. He will remain located in Lieff Cabraser’s San Francisco offices, and the firm name will remain unchanged. |
| "I take great pride in having founded Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein thirty-four years ago and overseen its growth into one of the premier plaintiffs law firms in the United States," stated Mr. Lieff. "Throughout my legal career I have advanced the rights of plaintiffs, both in America and abroad, and worked to create a global network of lawyers committed to this principle. Lieff Global will allow me to concentrate on promoting access to justice on a worldwide scale." |
| "Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein is excited to participate in the creation of Lieff Global," commented Mr. Fineman. "Lieff Cabraser’s strength as one of the largest and most accomplished law firms in the United States combined with Lieff Global’s international expertise and international network of lawyers will enable the firms to jointly litigate against the largest and most powerful corporations in the world in aviation cases and actions for non-U.S. citizens." |
| "Robert Lieff has been my mentor for my entire professional career," stated Lieff Cabraser partner, Elizabeth J. Cabraser. "For more than three decades our firm has been committed to redressing corporate misconduct, achieving justice for investors, consumers and employees, promoting safer products and aviation safety, and protecting our environment and the human rights of citizens worldwide. That has been the hallmark of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, and will remain so." |
| According to Mr. Lieff, Lieff Global
will include, in addition to himself, two present Lieff
Cabraser associates, Lexi Hazam and David Fiol. Nigel Taylor
who is presently "Of Counsel" to Lieff Cabraser
will become "Of Counsel" to Lieff Global. "No
other Lieff Cabraser partners will be leaving to join Lieff
Global. I do, however, intend to hire additional attorneys
as needed," stated Mr. Lieff. |
