Oren Lund, a son-in-law of late Mayer Brown partner Stephen Shapiro, an esteemed appellate litigator who was shockingly killed earlier this month, is preparing for the next stage of his professional career with his personal life in turmoil.

A corporate partner at Kirkland & Ellis until earlier this month, Lund is now a partner at Massumi + Consoli, a Los Angeles-based boutique founded in early 2015 by a pair of former Kirkland lawyers.
