Edward Rice
Partner
A former federal judicial clerk who trained at the U.S. Department of Justice and at leading international law firms, Ed is an experienced first-chair trial lawyer. He is known for “translating” complex technical and legal issues into “plain English” and presenting them in a clear and engaging manner. In the courtroom, Ed combines a natural authenticity with skilled trial technique and superior communication skills. That combination earns him uncommon credibility with judges and juries.
Marina Saito
Partner
With a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Biology, Marina has a broad technical background that she combines with deep litigation experience. She is detail-oriented and rigorous, ensuring every case rests on thorough analysis and unassailable logic. Marina thinks like both an engineer and a trial lawyer. She brings an engineer’s precision to problem-solving and a natural creativity to untangling legal puzzles. This rare combination allows her to craft innovative strategies that others often overlook.
Steve Lubezny
Partner
An electrical engineer with extensive trial experience, Steve brings technical acumen, innate analytic abilities, and sophisticated litigation skills. He is adept at rapidly synthesizing technical, legal, and factual material into a clear and focused strategy, making him invaluable in fast-moving, high-tech cases. His versatility, clear judgement, and practical insight make him an essential part of the team.
A team strengthened by experience, shared judgment, and complementary skills.
Clients hire teams to make sound decisions, consistently and often under pressure. Our long experience working together allows us to provide balanced perspective and clear, disciplined analysis.
Marina and Ed have worked as a litigation team for nearly 25 years, and Steve has teamed with them for more than a decade. Over that time, we have not simply collaborated as colleagues—we have practiced together as a cohesive team across complex trials and countless matters.
Our team has succeeded because while we offer diverse skills, we share a remarkably similar sensibility for what works. We bring different ideas and viewpoints to our discussions but quickly agree on the ideal approach.
Our shared judgment and complementary strengths allow us to transform thoughtful strategy into effective action. The result is representation that is focused, efficient, and practical.
