Expanding Morgan Lewis’s trial capacity across various industries, the firm welcomes partner Stephen P. Hall. Arriving from Orrick and resident in the Boston office, Stephen represents companies in various regulated industries, including life sciences, chemical, biotech, pharmaceutical, technology, finance, and manufacturing.
“Boston is an important and growing jurisdiction for life sciences litigation, corporate, and regulatory services,” said Firm Chair Jami McKeon. “Stephen brings additional depth and capacity to our litigation team in that industry, and will enhance our ability to help our clients succeed in an increasingly competitive and regulated environment."
Applying his first chair trial experience and certified public accountant background, Stephen defends companies in commercial and business disputes as well as in product liability and mass tort claims. His diverse litigation practice spans other verticals as well, including white collar defense, False Claims Act, insurance recovery disputes, and employment discrimination matters.
“Stephen builds on our momentum of adding top talent to our litigation capabilities, while broadening our industry reach in areas where tailored, innovative solutions are sought after,” said Troy S. Brown, leader of the firm’s global litigation practice. “Stephen’s proven track record across a vast array of disputes and regulatory compliance matters and investigations provides our clients with the decisive legal experience they need.”
