Liam is an experienced litigator who represents both plaintiffs and defendants in high-stakes disputes, with a focus on cryptocurrency, financial fraud, and complex commercial litigation.
After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, Liam practiced at three elite law firms in New York City. At Paul Hastings, he specialized in white collar criminal defense and global investigations. At the high-stakes litigation firm, Selendy Gay, he worked on bet-the-company cases, drafted class complaints against fraudsters, including a complaint against Terraform Labs and Do Kwon for the collapse of the TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin, and represented the Liquidators of the Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities Ponzi scheme in actions clawing back redemptions against dozens of Swiss banks. At the trial firm, McKool Smith, Liam represented the Celsius Network trust in post-bankruptcy litigation.

Beyond his practice, Liam has taught cryptocurrency litigation at Yale Law School, developed layer two cryptocurrencies, and published articles and commentary on the evolving U.S. regulatory landscape for domestic cryptocurrency companies. He is also the author of Crypto Winter: The Rise & Fall of Billion-Dollar Crypto Empires, which chronicles the interconnected downfall of Terraform Labs, Three Arrows Capital, Voyager Digital, Genesis, Celsius Network, BlockFi, and FTX.
Liam holds a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he was the Chair of the Moot Court Board, a Certificate in Management from the Wharton School of Business, and a bachelor’s degree in political science and communication studies from the University of Kansas, graduating as valedictorian of his major. He is admitted to practice law in New York state court and in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
