Two more partners from a team with more
than two decades of experience working together move to
Crowell
CHICAGO, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Crowell & Moring announced today that
partner Elaine Taussig is joining
the firm's Corporate group and partner Tom
Williams is joining the firm's Corporate and IP groups in
Chicago from Neal, Gerber &
Eisenberg. They will unite with their long-time colleagues
John J. Koenigsknecht and
David S. Stone, who recently joined
Crowell in corporate practice leadership positions to continue the
firm's strategic growth of its transactional capabilities.
Taussig and Williams bring a valuable combination of law firm
and in-house counsel experience and advise on business growth and
IP protection strategies. They are the most recent members to join
Crowell from a corporate team that has represented clients over the
past two decades in sophisticated transactional matters. The team
counsels public and private companies on M&A, capital markets,
securities, governance, and strategic IP diligence and
enforcement.
- Elaine Taussig represents clients in public and
private securities offerings, compliance with complex laws and
regulations, and in a wide range of corporate transactions. She
formerly served as general counsel of a number of companies in a
variety of sectors, including print and digital media, energy, and
health care technology, and brings that valuable in-house
perspective to her practice.
- Tom Williams manages IP-related due diligence
activities in corporate transactions and helps clients negotiate a
variety of business agreements. Leveraging deep technical and
industrial experience, he also helps companies plan and implement
product innovation protection, enforcement/defense, and
monetization strategies to mitigate risk.
"We are very pleased that Elaine and Tom are joining Crowell,
bringing their diverse transactional and IP experience," said
Philip T. Inglima, chair of Crowell
& Moring. "Clients will benefit from their proven track record
of developing a deep understanding of a company's business and
growth objectives so that they are well-positioned to advise on
corporate and IP protection and monetization strategies."
The addition of this highly experienced team is a reflection of
the firm's focus on continuing to grow its corporate capabilities
to support clients in this dynamic global market and to continue
expanding and diversifying its practice in Chicago. Crowell entered the Chicago market in 2021 when it
combined with Brinks Gilson & Lione, a premier IP firm.
That same year, Crowell combined with storied financial
services firm Kibbe & Orbe, adding lawyers in London, New
York, and Washington, D.C.
Since then, it has continued to deepen its transactional bench,
adding 14 partners.
"For almost two decades our team has worked together to provide
seamless and strategic support to clients," Taussig said. "We are
excited to move together to Crowell and expand the portfolio of
experience that we can provide our clients in this very complex and
highly regulated business environment."
"Crowell provides a valuable platform for our practice and our
clients, because of the strength of the firm's transactional,
regulatory, litigation, and IP practices," Williams said. "As
trusted advisors, we are thrilled to join a firm with a shared
commitment to deliver service excellence and innovative solutions
to clients."
