Léa Caurand

Léa Caurand focuses her practice on civil and commercial litigation, with an emphasis on premises liability and the defense of clients in the sports, recreation and entertainment industries. She represents trampoline parks, sports leagues and other recreational and entertainment facilities in personal injury and premises liability matters involving trip-and-fall incidents, inadequate supervision, crowd control and allegedly unsafe conditions.

Léa’s experience representing recreational and entertainment clients includes matters involving assumption of risk, waivers and releases, comparative negligence, the inherent risks of recreational activities, contractual indemnity and insurance. She evaluates the duties of care applicable to different recreational activities and the circumstances surrounding alleged injuries to develop defense strategies tailored to the facts of each matter.

In addition, Léa advises technology clients as outside counsel on commercial contract matters, including indemnification provisions, limitations of liability, insurance, data privacy and payment terms.

Prior to joining Segal McCambridge, Léa practiced at a New York litigation firm, where she handled tort defense and commercial litigation matters, including premises liability and Labor Law claims. Before her admission to the New York Bar, she served as a commercial litigation law clerk, conducting legal research, drafting pleadings and motions and managing discovery in complex, high-value matters. Her international legal experience includes working at a law firm in Paris, where she focused on employment and private law matters.

Léa earned an LL.M. in international law and conflict resolution from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. She also holds master’s degrees in English and North American business law from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

She lives in New York City, where she is always on the hunt for good restaurants and bakeries, although she still longs for French croissants. She enjoys live music, traveling, boxing, salsa dancing and yoga.
