WASHINGTON, April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Latham & Watkins LLP¹is pleased to announce that Nicholas J. Boyle has joined the firm in Washington, D.C. in the Litigation & Trial Department and as a member of the Complex Commercial Litigation Practice. Boyle handles a wide variety of litigation, with a particular focus on complex civil disputes that have global reach.

"Nick is one of DC's strongest and most strategic commercial litigators, and we couldn't be happier to have him join our team," noted Michael Egge, Managing Partner of Latham's Washington, D.C. office and member of the firm's Executive Committee. "His professional and personal ethos are a perfect fit for our collaborative, entrepreneurial culture, and integrating his skills and experience into Latham's team-based approach will be not only easy but also a huge value-add to our clients and to our colleagues across the firm."

Boyle has deep experience litigating in federal and state courts across the US and has successfully represented clients before a variety of arbitral institutions such as the American Arbitration Association, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and JAMS. His clients include investment banks, global private equity funds, software and technology companies, business-to-business data sellers, movie studios, and the leading commercial real estate data provider. In addition to commercial disputes, Boyle handles copyright and trade secrets matters, securities suits, unfair competition cases, employment disputes, and antitrust and RICO litigation.
