People on the Move: Law

As part of a cooperative agreement between Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge UK LLP and Marshall Diel & Myers in Bermuda, Katie Tornari of EAPD's insurance and reinsurance department moved to Bermuda to practice law with MDM. The agreement will mean enhanced legal resources available to insurers and reinsurers doing business in Bermuda, providing the clients with seamless legal services in multiple jurisdictions, including Bermuda, the United States, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. Tornari has more than eight years of experience in insurance and reinsurance litigation and arbitration work, including the representation of Bermuda insurers in London coverage arbitrations. She will be tasked with developing MDM's insurance and reinsurance practice.

Dickstein Shapiro, a multiservice law firm with more than 400 attorneys in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C., hired Stephen Goldberg as partner in the Insurance Coverage Practice.

Goldberg previously was a shareholder and member of the Insurance Recovery and Complex Commercial Litigation practice groups at Heller Ehrman LLP.
