Gibbons in Newark announced the combination and realignment of its business and white-collar criminal litigation practices into the Commercial and Criminal Litigation Department, which will be co-chaired by two longtime Gibbons partners: Peter J. Torcicollo, formerly of the business and commercial litigation department, and Lawrence S. Lustberg, former chair of the criminal defense department. “By streamlining the administrative function of our former Business and Commercial Litigation and Criminal Defense Departments, we are increasing efficiencies that bring savings to our clients,” said Patrick C. Dunican Jr., chairman and managing director of Gibbons, “while also widening the scope of services we can provide on demand, with little to no learning curve or ‘onramping,’ as needs arise in the course of litigation.”
