Law Squared says Molly Liskazer has joined as head of disputes and litigation.

Ms Liskazer was previously senior legal counsel for litigation and global head of insurance at freight and logistics giant Toll Group.

The law firm says its disputes and litigation practice has more than tripled in a year as insurers, energy and utility retailers, and major corporates move high-volume and complex litigation onto its fixed-stage fee model.

“The growth has been driven by a pricing model few firms have been willing to apply to litigation,” the firm said.

“Law Squared has worked this way since it was founded in 2016 and it is consistent with its practice of not recording time, either to bill clients or to measure the performance of its lawyers.”

Ms Liskazer heads up the practice with three newly appointed team leads: Melanie Skinner, Gino Joseph and Natalie Markovski.
