NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Morrison Cohen LLP announced today the admission to the firm of its newest lateral partner, Terence K. McLaughlin.
Mr. McLaughlin will join the Firm's Business Litigation Department. He comes to Morrison Cohen with over 16 years of experience representing financial and professional institutions, hedge funds, corporations and senior business executives in a wide variety of securities and complex commercial litigation matters. Mr. McLaughlin’s financial litigation expertise encompasses, among other things, derivative and direct litigation on behalf of private equity sponsors and other corporate clients, traditional securities and consumer class action litigation, and a broad spectrum of contractual and commercial litigation on behalf of clients in varying industries in federal and state courts across the country. By virtue of his frequent representation of financial and hedge fund clients, Mr. McLaughlin also has expertise advising clients in connection with disputes arising out of corporate insolvencies, both in court-supervised proceedings and out-of-court workouts alike. Immediately prior to joining Morrison Cohen, Mr. McLaughlin was a partner in the Litigation Department of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP.
David Scherl, Chairman of Morrison Cohen, said: "We are excited about Terry joining us. He brings additional depth and range of experience to our financial institution litigation practice, and we anticipate that he will play a very significant role servicing the litigation needs of our existing investment banking, private equity, commercial banking and other financial institution clients. We also expect that institutional clients that have worked with Terry prior to joining us will welcome our dramatically more rational billing rates.”
