Todd Toral, chair of cross-border litigation for the Americas at DLA Piper, is joining Jenner & Block as a complex commercial litigation partner in Los Angeles.

Toral, tapped by DLA Piper in 2014 to be part of a cross-border litigation leadership team, primarily handles bank disputes and private equity matters. Toral said he was drawn to the strength of Jenner & Block’s practice in Japan, where he once lived.
