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.

Earlier this month, a group of Lewis & Llewellyn team members, clients, and friends of the firm celebrated the last Golden State Valkyries regular season home game.  It was a great opportunity to connect outside the office and cheer on the Bay Area’s newest team.  We’re proud to support the growth of professional women’s sports, grateful to our clients for joining us, and look forward to more moments like these.

The San Francisco Chronicle recently featured Lewis & Llewellyn’s lawsuit against Pacific Boychoir Academy and its longtime artistic director, Kevin Fox.  The article details allegations from our clients, former students, who allege that Fox engaged in years of sexual harassment and abuse while administrators repeatedly ignored or dismissed complaints.

The full article can be read here.

Lewis & Llewellyn is once again looking to bolster our ranks!

We are looking for an experienced associate to dive deeply into our complex and interesting portfolio of matters and take their practice to the next level. As always, we are looking for attorneys with top-flight credentials coupled with the passion to litigate.  The ideal candidate would have impeccable educational credentials, three to five years’ experience at an AmLaw 100 or elite plaintiff’s firm, and be ready to develop an exciting practice in both state court, federal court, and arbitration.

Lewis & Llewellyn deeply values diversity and we encourage applications from diverse candidates.  If you are interested in joining a team of world class attorneys, practicing at the cutting edge of litigation, and who love what they do, send your resume to careers@lewisllewellyn.com.

We are pleased to welcome DeShawn Carter to the firm as our law clerk for 2025.

DeShawn is a second-year law student at the University of California, Berkeley, where he serves on the Board of Advocates and Negotiations Team and is a member of the Family Defense Project and Law Students of African Descent.  He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science, magna cum laude, from Howard University.  While at Howard, DeShawn was selected as a congressional intern for Congressman Eric Swalwell.  This summer, he worked as a law clerk for the Alameda County Public Defender’s Office.

We are thrilled to have DeShawn as a part of our team, and we look forward to continuing to provide a space for young adults to explore their interest in the law.

This summer the Lewis & Llewellyn team enjoyed some friendly competition over a few rounds of ping pong at SPIN in San Francisco.  We’re grateful for the opportunity to spend time with our summer fellow, Taylor Tsan, and strengthen our team connections outside the office.

Lewis & Llewellyn is pleased to share that Partner Becca Furman was recently nominated and selected for the UC Law SF Alumni Association Board of Governors. The Board of Governors consists of 30 alumni members and serves as a liaison between alumni and the school’s administration. The group provides valuable input on alumni volunteer activities, chapter and affinity group programming, and helps support department initiatives at UC Law.

The Lewis & Llewellyn team recently got together for an impromptu lunch on the newly renovated rooftop of our office building. It was a treat to enjoy lunch in the San Francisco sunshine and sneak in some quick practice swings in the driving range.

Lewis & Llewellyn attorneys, Rina Plotkin and Grace Ramirez, recently completed National Institute for Trial Advocacy’s (NITA) deposition skills course.  NITA’s courses provide lectures and demonstrations on deposition-taking techniques and are considered the gold standard in teaching trial advocacy.  Attorney Zachary Flood also attended the NITA trial skills course last week in San Francisco.  We look forward to seeing his enhanced skills in action.
