Peter Booth joins the firm with a focus on international trade and regulatory law. Based in Washington, D.C., Booth brings over 25 years of experience in trade remedy proceedings, export controls, and customs law. His prior work with both public and private sector clients makes him a valuable asset for clients navigating complex cross-border regulatory frameworks.
Ashley LaValley comes on board as a registered patent attorney in FisherBroyles’ Intellectual Property practice. Based in Chicago, LaValley has extensive experience advising clients in patent prosecution, portfolio development, and IP strategy, particularly in the life sciences and medical device industries. Her addition significantly bolsters the firm’s IP bench strength in the Midwest and supports its mission of offering high-level IP counsel nationwide.
Further expanding the firm’s global capabilities, Sergio Legorreta joins as a partner based in Mexico City. A well-regarded figure in Latin American IP law, Legorreta brings decades of experience advising multinational clients on trademark law, brand protection, anti-counterfeiting strategies, and IP litigation. His leadership will help FisherBroyles enhance its Latin American footprint and serve international clients with cross-border needs.
“Each of these attorneys brings a unique skill set that strengthens our firm’s capabilities in high-demand practice areas,” said James Fisher, co-founder and managing partner of FisherBroyles. “Peter, Ashley, and Sergio exemplify the type of elite talent that aligns perfectly with our mission of delivering exceptional legal services through our distributed law firm model.”
FisherBroyles continues to distinguish itself as the largest full-service distributed law firm in the U.S., with a business model that eliminates unnecessary overhead and enables attorneys to offer more personalized, cost-effective services. The firm’s platform has proven especially attractive to experienced partners seeking autonomy, flexibility, and collaboration across a wide spectrum of practice areas.
The arrival of Booth, LaValley, and Legorreta is expected to further enhance the firm’s capabilities in serving clients at the intersection of regulatory compliance, intellectual property, and international business. With over 300 partners across the United States and now a growing presence in Mexico, FisherBroyles remains committed to redefining how law is practiced in a modern, interconnected world.
