Arriving from K&L Gates, Tor brings extensive experience in consumer class action defense, construction, and complex commercial disputes across federal and state courts nationwide. Her arrival is part of a broader expansion of Reed Smith’s Global Commercial Disputes and Labor and Employment Groups, including the addition of three partners in the firm’s Boston office, also from K&L Gates.

"Loly is an exceptional litigator who will immediately strengthen our class action and commercial disputes capabilities,” said Jim Hultquist, co-chair of Reed Smith’s Global Commercial Disputes Group. "Her arrival reflects the continued momentum of our litigation practice and our commitment to building market-leading capabilities in class action, construction and commercial litigation."

Tor focuses on complex civil litigation throughout the United States, with an emphasis on consumer and building products litigation, construction disputes, and complex commercial disputes.  She has extensive experience defending consumer class actions involving allegations of false advertising and deceptive marketing, product labeling, regulatory compliance, and emerging issues such as greenwashing and PFAS.  She also represents clients in disputes related to construction and design defects, construction delays, warranty claims, mechanic’s liens, and other construction-related disputes.  Her complex commercial litigation experience spans a wide variety of contract disputes, with a focus on disputes along the supply chain and in the manufacturing industry.

"I have always been impressed with Reed Smith’s distinguished class action and commercial litigation work," said Tor. "The firm's national platform and collaborative culture provide an ideal environment for serving clients across a variety of industries. I look forward to contributing to the firm's continued growth and success." 

Tor earned her J.D., magna cum laude, from Boston University School of Law and her B.A., summa cum laude, from Seton Hall University. 

"Loly's addition to our Princeton office is a significant win for our clients in the region," said Nicholas Valvanis, managing partner of Reed Smith's Princeton office. "Her deep bench strength in class action defense and construction litigation fills a key need in this market. We are thrilled to welcome her."
