Yuval Marcus named managing partner at Leason Ellis

The White Plains-based intellectual law firm Leason Ellis has announced the appointment of Yuval Marcus as managing partner, effective on New Year’s Day.

Marcus has been with the firm since 2009 and is currently a co-chairman of its litigation practice group and a member of its executive committee. He will become the second managing partner in the firm’s history – David Leason has served as the firm’s managing partner since its founding in 2008. Leason will remain on the executive committee and will continue his practice as an equity partner of the firm.

“Having started Leason Ellis with co-founder Ed Ellis over 15 years ago, and grown the firm into a practice with 30-plus attorneys and more than 70 professionals in all, I feel a great sense of accomplishment,” said Leason. “The vision that I had for the firm has come to fruition, and Yuval is more than capable of managing our next phase of growth.”
