The focus of his master thesis was the effect of bi-lateral trade agreements on the harmonization of intellectual property standards. His experiences living in Amsterdam and observations of the paradigm shift surrounding cannabis led Luke to believe that the end of cannabis prohibition would be in the future of The United States. Luke considers himself to be a lifelong student which is why in 2019/2020 he obtained a second Master of Law from the Turin School of Development, a WIPO Academy Member, in intellectual property.

    Summary: I am a highly experienced civil litigator and trial attorney. After earning my law degree from Oxford University, England, and after learning the art of advocacy at the Inns of Court School of Law in Temple, London, I honed my trial skills as a barrister, trying approximately one hundred cases to verdict as prosecuting counsel for the Crown. After moving to California in 2001, I practiced at an elite Los Angeles litigation boutique—which twice won the highest verdict in California—and Latham & Watkins LLP, one of the world’s premier international law firms. Clients in search of aggressive and effective representation turn to me again and again to resolve their most complex and sensitive legal issues, ranging from discrete issues and disputes to bet the company litigation. I have secured recoveries of tens of millions of dollars on behalf of plaintiffs, as well as significant defense victories. And virtually unique among litigators and trial lawyers, I split my practice approximately 50-50 on the plaintiff and defense side. I am one of the rare breed of attorneys who has tried cases to verdict on the civil side for the plaintiff and defense, and on the criminal side for the prosecution and defense. In addition to my business litigation practice, I have also earned a reputation as one of the country’s leading practitioners pursuing civil lawsuits on behalf of survivors of sexual abuse, including childhood sexual abuse. In this field, I have recovered tens of millions of dollars on behalf of his clients, often overcoming significant statute of limitations hurdles. These lawsuits have garnered both national and worldwide media attention, helping to bring about institutional change and raise community awareness, ultimately reducing the opportunity for future instances of sexual abuse. I am a frequent speaker, lecturing regularly on all aspects of litigation practice and procedure, and I am the author of the Amazon best-selling book, Unshackled: Reimagining the Practice of Law. I have served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, where I taught legal research and writing, and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the British American Business Council.
