Providence, RI (October 13, 2025) - Lewis Brisbois is pleased to announce that Providence Partner Brian C. Newberry was recently accepted as a new member of the Rhode Island Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) during the organization’s National Board Meeting in Austin, Texas on October 4, 2025.
In discussing his acceptance into the organization, Mr. Newberry noted, “It’s an honor to be accepted into ABOTA. Jury trials lie at the heart of the legal system and while our first priority as lawyers is to resolve disputes as economically and efficiently as possible for our clients, part of that pursuit depends on always being ready to present a case to a jury and it is critically important for both our clients and opposing counsel to know we stand at the top of the profession in that regard.”
Providence Managing Partner Lauren Motola-Davis stated, “ABOTA sets one of the profession’s highest bars for trial excellence and civility. Brian Newberry not only meets that standard—he exemplifies it. We’re thrilled for him and for ABOTA’s Rhode Island Chapter, and we know he’ll continue to strengthen Lewis Brisbois’ National Trial Practice.”
ABOTA is a national association of experienced trial lawyers and judges who are dedicated to preserving the civil jury trial as well as educating and training trial lawyers. Lewis Brisbois currently has 39 trial attorneys across its nationwide network who have been inducted into the organization.

Mr. Newberry, admitted in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, specializes in professional practices representing primarily architects, engineers, accountants, lawyers, and medical professionals in addition to general insurance defense. He has extensive trial and appellate experience in both state and federal court in multiple jurisdictions.
