Last week the Lewis & Llewellyn team gathered in San Francisco for our annual holiday party, and we were reminded once again how fortunate we are to work with such an incredible group of people. We are grateful to have had so many opportunities to spend time together in 2025, and we look forward to many more in 2026. We wish you all a very happy holiday season and a joyous new year!

Lewis & Llewellyn attorney Marjon Momand attended the National Association of Muslim Lawyers 2025 Annual Conference last month in Irvine, California. The three-day event brought together Muslim legal professionals, scholars, and advocates from across the country for networking, professional development, and cutting-edge discussions.
Marc Lewis also co-hosted a Bay Area UCLA Law alumni event last month at the San Francisco Gibson Dunn office, which was attended by fellow Bruins Ryan Erickson and Newton Oldfather. The gathering brought together former classmates and colleagues for an evening of reconnecting over drinks. For updates on future events, join the UCLA Law Bay Area Alumni LinkedIn page here.
Paul Llewellyn recently hosted a British American Bar Association (BABA) Happy Hour at Heartwood in San Francisco, bringing together British and American attorneys practicing in the Bay Area for an evening of conversation and connection. The event offered a great opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and build new professional relationships within the international legal community.
Our team is growing rapidly, and we are thrilled to welcome our newest associate, Jackson Willis, to the firm!
Before joining Lewis & Llewellyn, Jackson was an associate at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. There, he defended clients in multiple securities class actions and advised them as they conducted internal or responded to government investigations. He also maintained an active pro bono practice focused mainly on immigration matters.
We are excited to add Jackson to our growing bench of elite litigators—and this is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more additions to the L&L team in the new year.
The Lewis & Llewellyn team recently gathered in Carmel Valley for our annual firm retreat. Between lively pickleball matches, meeting ranch animals, and team dinners in Carmel-by-the-Sea, we enjoyed the chance to connect, recharge, and celebrate another great year together.
We’re grateful for a team that brings dedication, collaboration, and plenty of fun, both inside and outside the office.
Last month, Partner Evangeline Burbidge attended the Sedona Conference on Trade Secrets in Atlanta, presenting a draft paper on minimizing trade secret risk during employee transitions. She received feedback from judges, practitioners, and in-house counsel, marking a strong debut at the conference.
Lewis & Llewellyn LLP was recently profiled by Peter Stris, founding partner of Stris & Maher LLP, in his 2025 Hiring Guide for Litigation Boutiques. The guide highlights leading litigation boutiques known for their skill, integrity, and impact.
The profile traces the firm’s origins through the story of Paul Llewellyn and Marc Lewis—from Paul’s childhood inspiration watching L.A. Law in England to the founding of a boutique that balances principled advocacy with high-stakes litigation.
Lewis & Llewellyn has grown to 21 lawyers across the United States, handling both complex commercial litigation and high-impact cases for survivors of sexual abuse.

Lewis & Llewellyn is thrilled to welcome our newest attorney, Saad Rizwan, to the firm!
Before joining Lewis & Llewellyn LLP, Saad practiced in the litigation departments at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati P.C. in Palo Alto and at Covington & Burling LLP in New York, where he represented companies and individuals in securities actions, trade secrets matters, founder disputes, and other complex commercial cases. Saad also clerked for the Honorable Theresa L. Springmann of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana.
We are excited to have Saad join our firm’s bench of elite litigators.
The Lewis & Llewellyn team and our families gathered in the East Bay last month to celebrate the final weeks of summer. We always enjoy the opportunity to get together outside of the office, and it’s made even better when we are joined by our children, partners, and parents.
