Litigator David Sager Joins DLA Piper in New Jersey
DLA Piper announced the addition of David Sager to the firm’s litigation practice as a partner in the Short Hills, New Jersey, office.
Sager, who has more than 25 years of experience as a litigator, represents clients in the US and abroad in deal-related litigation, class action defense, real estate, franchise and distribution, securities and intellectual property matters, the firm said in a news release.
“David has developed a strong reputation as a top-notch litigator,” said James Brogan, co-chair of DLA Piper’s US Litigation practice. “His significant international experience will complement our global platform, and we’re certain that his understanding of franchise issues across so many industries will be immediately valuable to our clients.”
“We’re excited to welcome David to the firm, and we look forward to expanding our litigation capabilities here in New Jersey,” said Andrew Gilbert, co-managing partner of the firm’s Short Hills office. “With a host of regulatory changes expected in Washington, our clients will need experienced litigators like David in the years to come.”
Sager most recently chaired both the Commercial and Business Litigation Practice and the Franchise and Distribution Practice at Lowenstein Sandler. He is the latest addition to DLA Piper’s Litigation practice, which in recent months has also welcomed George Karavetsos (Miami), Thiru Vignarajah (Baltimore), Matthew Graves (Washington, DC) and Louis Ramos (Washington, DC).
Sager earned his J.D. from Duke University School of Law, and his B.A. from the University of Michigan.
