Todd & Weld expands, adding four accomplished trial lawyers
Four highly accomplished trial attorneys have joined Todd & Weld LLP as partners, significantly expanding its capabilities in white-collar defense, government investigations, complex business disputes, employment law, and other litigation practice areas.
Attorneys Paul Cirel, Ingrid Martin, Daniel Cloherty and Victoria Steinberg join Todd & Weld after many years as partners at Collora LLP, a Boston boutique litigation firm, which recently combined with the global firm, Hogan Lovells.
The addition of Cirel, Martin, Cloherty and Steinberg further enhances Todd & Weld’s ability to provide clients with the trial experience and courtroom skills to take on any type of white collar matter, regulatory investigation or prosecution, and business dispute.
Cirel and Martin practice at the intersection of criminal defense and health care law, providing organizations and individuals with all-encompassing expertise for their legal needs. Both former prosecutors, Cirel and Martin represent medical practices and a wide breadth of health care professionals and companies, including clinical laboratories, medical device companies, home health agencies, and pharmacies.
Cloherty’s federal criminal defense expertise extends to representing businesses and individuals in government investigations and enforcement matters involving allegations of securities fraud, health care fraud, bank and mail fraud, and embezzlement, among other offenses.
With the addition of Cirel, Martin and Cloherty to the firm’s already robust team of white collar criminal defense attorneys – including partners Howard Cooper, David Meier, Max Stern, Melinda Thompson, and J. Owen Todd – Todd & Weld offers clients deep knowledge and understanding of a diverse range of regulatory issues, investigations, enforcement proceedings, and litigation.
Cloherty and Steinberg bring more than three decades of combined experience litigating complex business disputes and employment matters in federal and state courts. In the employment arena, they represent clients in wage and hour disputes, defend businesses and individuals against claims of discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination, and litigate disputes relating to non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality agreements.
They also regularly represent educational institutions in significant civil matters, including Title IX-related investigations and litigation. Cloherty and Steinberg join Todd & Weld's already strong group of trial lawyers to form one of the most well-recognized and experienced business and employment litigation teams in New England.
“Paul and Ingrid are go-to lawyers for their committed and successful representation of individuals and companies in the health care industry in high-stakes matters,” said Christopher Weld Jr., Todd & Weld's Managing Partner. “Daniel and Vicky bring complimentary civil litigation and criminal defense practices that align with Todd & Weld’s longstanding reputation as a leader in successful, results-oriented commercial, business, and employment litigation in federal and state court.”
