Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P., announced last week that it is expanding its operations to New York. The new office, which will be located in Manhattan, will be led by David Leichtman and Hillel Parness, who will be joining the firm as partners. Leichtman and Parness are both partners at Lovells LLP. Also joining Robins Kaplan as a partner is Bryan Vogel.

According to a press release, the firm plans to expand the New York office over the next year to create a platform for its trial lawyers to address the needs of companies with significant litigation in the United States.

Firm chairman Martin R. Lueck said the firm believes a strong New York presence is important to its future, its standing in the marketplace and its growth strategy. “This move will enhance our ability to provide existing clients with highly sophisticated litigation and trial experience in the areas of financial, business and intellectual property litigation, and will enable us to take advantage of opportunities unique to the New York marketplace,” he said.
