Law Firm News
Law firm Nelson Levine de Luca & Horst said Thursday it has acquired the eight-lawyer New York office of Chicago-based Querrey & Harrow. The group adds three partners to an existing small New York office for Nelson Levine, which represents insurance industry clients.
The Querrey group focuses on complex insurance and reinsurance litigation. Querrey partner George Vogrin will serve as managing partner of the New York office. He currently serves as coordinating counsel to underwriters at Lloyds of London, and represents other London-based insurers and reinsurers.
The 50-lawyer Nelson Levine opened its London office last year to serve the firm's international insurance and surplus lines insurer clients and said the latest addition will enable the firm to focus on the European insurance market.
"As a boutique firm focused solely on the insurance industry, the European insurance market is essential to our continued growth," Nelson Levine Chairman Michael Nelson said. "The addition of this practice is a perfect fit for us, as it expands our capabilities and provides additional depth and support as well as unique experience in exciting new practice areas."
Nelson said Nelson Levine is ahead of its five-year growth plan and has taken on new space at its Blue Bell headquarters that can accommodate 70 lawyers. The firm also has offices in Philadelphia; Cherry Hill and Newark, N.J.; and Columbus, Ohio.
