Cooley mourns the loss of retired partner Richard “Dick” Lieb. After a lengthy illness, he died peacefully on November 3 at his home on Manhattan’s West Side at the age of 92. Dick was widely recognized as a scholar and thought leader in the bankruptcy field. For decades, he was one of New York City’s leading bankruptcy lawyers, a mentor to dozens of young attorneys and a dedicated professor of bankruptcy law.

Dick became a Cooley partner in August 2006, when his then-110-lawyer firm, Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman, merged with Cooley. Dick founded Kronish Lieb in 1958 with his law school classmate and lifelong friend Herbert Kronish, growing it from two lawyers into a premier multiservice New York City firm, particularly in the areas of bankruptcy, complex tax and transactional matters, commercial litigation, and white collar criminal defense.
