Last week Lewis & Llewellyn marked its 13^th anniversary since the founding of the firm.  We are thankful as ever to work with such a phenomenal group of people and look forward to the years ahead!

On behalf of his alma mater, L&L Attorney John Frost recently hosted an alumni event for the University of Minnesota Law School at the Lewis & Llewellyn office in San Francisco.  It was a great opportunity to connect with UMN alumni in the San Francisco Bay Area community.

Lewis & Llewellyn is dedicated to providing an opportunity for high-achieving young adults to explore their interest in the law. In furtherance of this mission, Lewis & Llewellyn created our Annual Fellowship to remove barriers and create opportunities for talented individuals with diverse experiences in the legal industry.

The fellowship is geared towards undergraduate students who want to see behind the scenes and gain valuable experience at California’s fastest growing litigation boutique. This individual will be working as a critical member of our team, assisting attorneys and staff with investigations, legal briefing, analyzing evidence, and much more across a wide variety of substantive legal areas in commercial litigation. The program will also offer opportunities to see the life cycle of a litigation, observe hearings and depositions, and receive one-on-one mentorship with our attorneys.

This fellowship is a paid opportunity.

Please send a resume and a short personal statement (250 words maximum) to careers@lewisllewellyn.com if you are interested in applying.

Lewis & Llewellyn is delighted to welcome Peter Squeri to the partnership.

Peter joined Lewis & Llewellyn in April 2023 after practicing for more than 10 years in the San Francisco office of international powerhouse Gibson Dunn & Crutcher.

At Lewis & Llewellyn, Peter continues to litigate a wide range of complex civil litigation, with substantial experience representing corporate clients and individuals in high-stakes trials and arbitrations. He has been selected to the 2024 Northern California Super Lawyers list and has twice been recognized as a Northern California Rising Star by Super Lawyers. Peter’s experience, judgment, and tireless work ethic epitomize what Lewis & Llewellyn offers its clients.

In October, the L&L team celebrated an annual tradition and spent the weekend at a retreat.  We headed to Palm Springs and enjoyed some rest and relaxation!  Highlights of the trip included a sunrise hike, dinner in downtown Palm Springs, and quality time in the sun with our team members.  We feel as grateful as ever to work with such an incredible group of people.

Last month, Lewis & Llewellyn team members attended the opening for the Institute of Contemporary Art’s new location at the Cube on Montgomery Street.  As a sponsor of the event, our firm is proud to be part of a broader movement to reenergize the San Francisco financial district. 

Lewis & Llewellyn Partners Paul Llewellyn and Ryan Erickson recently participated in the Spartan Pan American Championship Weekend in Seattle—a grueling 21-kilometer race with 30 obstacles.

Last month, Lewis & Llewellyn Partner Becca Furman attended the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Justice and Diversity Center’s 20th Annual Gala: Advocacy in Action.  As part of its commitment to expanding diversity in the legal profession and its support of equal access to legal services, the firm was a proud sponsor of the event.

As you may have heard, the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (“ICA SF”) is moving from its current building in Dogpatch to a new space downtown, a stone’s throw from the headquarters of Lewis & Llewellyn.  We are proud to be sponsoring the opening of the ICA SF, especially because it is part of a broader movement to reenergize the financial district.

Like Lewis & Llewellyn, ICA SF was founded with the ideal of staying nimble.  For example, it offers free admission to all and embraces non-traditional exhibition formats.  ICA SF will open with three fall exhibitions: The Poetics of Dimensions curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah, Maryam Yousif: Riverbend, and Spotlight: Kathleen Ryan.  Details about the museum’s opening can be found 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, two to four years’ experience at an AmLaw 100 firm and be ready to develop an exciting practice in both state court, federal court, and arbitration.

Lewis & Llewellyn deeply values diversity and we specifically 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.
