Liu Shur Kravis LLP Launches as a Boutique Built for High-Stakes Disputes, Investigations, and Trials

Founders Jessie Liu, Justin Shur, and Jonathan Kravis Bring Together Deep Private Practice and Government Experience to Provide Clients with a 360-Degree Approach to Complex Legal Challenges

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Litigators Jessie Liu, Justin Shur, and Jonathan Kravis today announced the launch of Liu Shur Kravis LLP (“LSK”), a Washington, D.C.-based boutique law firm dedicated to delivering strategic counsel, rigorous advocacy, and successful results to clients confronting their most consequential legal challenges.

Built on a partner-driven model that ensures clients receive the focused attention of seasoned attorneys on complex matters, LSK will represent businesses, organizations, executives and other individuals in high-stakes disputes, investigations, and trials.

“LSK was founded on the principle that clients facing momentous legal challenges not only need but deserve dedicated teams led by senior lawyers who are deeply engaged from start to finish,” said Jessie Liu, a founding partner of the firm. “Justin, Jonathan, and I each love practicing law and could not be more excited to get to work on behalf of our clients.”

The firm brings together the founders' decades of experience in private practice at global BigLaw and national litigation firms, combined with their earlier service in leadership roles in government. Together, they offer unique depth in representing clients across a wide range of industries in high-stakes civil, criminal, regulatory and congressional matters.

LSK is committed to a deliberately lean partner-led approach to client service. “We staff matters with small, highly experienced teams,” said Justin Shur, a founding partner of the firm. “That model ensures that our clients receive our full attention, deep expertise, and hands-on strategic guidance.”

“It’s the rarest of opportunities to be able to form a new firm and choose your partners from the outset,” said Jonathan Kravis, a founding LSK partner. “In our case, we’ve known and worked with each other in many different ways over the years. This was the right time for us to come together and launch this new firm.”

Jessie Liu has extensive experience representing clients in government investigations and enforcement actions, as well as complex civil litigation. She previously served as the Senate-confirmed U.S. Attorney for D.C., leading the nation’s largest U.S. Attorney’s office, and as Deputy General Counsel at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. She was also previously a partner at a leading global law firm. She has been recognized by Chambers USA, The Best Lawyers in America, and Lawdragon. Liu graduated from Yale Law School.

He was previously a partner at a nationally recognized litigation firm and, earlier in his career, served as Deputy Chief of the Public Integrity Section in DOJ’s Criminal Division, where he oversaw significant fraud and corruption cases. Shur is widely recognized as a leading lawyer by Chambers USA Benchmark Litigation, The Legal 500, and Lawdragon. He earned his law degree from Emory University School of Law.
