Former Assistant U.S. Attorney and Counselor to Governor Cuomo will lead the firm's litigation team
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- L&F Brown, P.C., the nation's largest law firm representing entrepreneurs and small business owners, announced that Linda Lacewell has joined the firm as Managing Attorney for Litigation.
Linda began her illustrious legal career as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. After 10 years at the U.S. Attorney's Office, including a stint on the Enron Task Force, she became Special Counsel to the New York Attorney General. Next, she served in a series of roles for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, including Counselor to the Governor, Chief Risk Officer, and Chief of Staff. Linda was then appointed as Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services, before leaving government service for private practice.
"I'm proud to be joining the team at L&F Brown," said Lacewell. "Coming from the U.S. Attorney's Office and other senior positions in government, my entire career has been focused on delivering results. A successful lawyer finds the right strategy to achieve the client's goal rather than billing for the sake of it. I want to help real people with real problems in real time. In fact, the primary reason I joined L&F Brown is that they share my same philosophy."
"Small businesses are the lifeblood of our country," continued Lacewell. "I find it meaningful and rewarding to make a positive impact on everyday people. Unfortunately, it's difficult for small business owners to achieve justice in our litigious society. By focusing on business goals rather than esoteric legal strategies, L&F Brown's approach takes the specific needs of small business owners to heart, because you can't treat them the same way as large corporate clients."
"We're blessed to have Linda lead our litigation department," said founding partner Curt Brown. "She's been Chief of Staff for the Governor, she's supervised over 1,400 financial institutions, and she's an expert on crypto regulation. I can't imagine having a more impactful leader pursuing justice and positive legal outcomes for our clients."
Linda is a member of the California State Bar and the New York State Bar. She was named to New York's City & State 2020 Women's Power 100 (#24) and one of Coindesk's 12 Most Influential People in Cryptocurrency in 2020. She was awarded the Stimson Medal for exceptional service in the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Attorney General's Award, the highest award in the U.S. Department of Justice.
