Loren draws on 20 years of experience as a litigator to represent clients, particularly those in the transportation industry, in complex commercial disputes.
With an extensive background in commercial litigation and class action lawsuits, Loren has tried cases to verdict, on appeal, in state and federal court, and before public agencies. His practice includes a wide array of general complex commercial matters, including trade secret cases, class action defense, breach of contract disputes, fraud allegations, shareholder and partner disputes, and investor actions. After a case involving the Carmack Amendment, a federal transportation law, sparked his interest in interstate commerce and the vast share of the economy it represents, Loren began to concentrate a portion of his litigation practice on the transportation, cargo, and logistics sectors.
In addition to his general commercial litigation clients from varying industries, Loren represents motor, rail, air, and ocean carriers; brokers (3PLs); shippers; warehouse operators; freight forwarders; and non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs) in freight loss and damage claims, collection of tariff and transportation charges, transportation contract disputes, cargo-related matters nationally (intrastate and interstate), regulatory guidance, and equipment issues. As his practice in the transportation area has grown, he has taken on national counsel roles with major companies, advising as well on transactions and regulatory questions.
Loren thrives on finding the correct strategy to achieve a win for the client, and he loves wrestling with the immense complexity of transportation and cargo regulations. He’s also enthusiastic about the cutting-edge technology transportation clients often employ: Loren values practicing in a sector that’s often at the forefront of AI and other developments. He also advises clients on the specific regulatory issues at stake for electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles or “driverless cars.”
Known as a tenacious, aggressive advocate, Loren is dedicated to achieving the best results possible, and he prioritizes client communication. He knows many clients are new to litigation and are highly stressed, and he calmly walks them through the process. With an M.B.A. and a solid business background, Loren also ensures that his litigation strategies fit with clients’ business needs, providing a practical, business-minded approach to each case.
