Overview
Global law firm McDermott Will & Emery continues to expand its New York litigation footprint with the additions of commercial litigation partners Josh Simon, Warren Haskel and Dmitriy Tishyevich. This group enhances McDermott’s market-leading healthcare litigation practice and adds depth to its growing New York practice, which currently includes more than 40 commercial litigators.
“In the complex landscape in which health plans operate today, clients require talented lawyers with a track record of success,” said David Rosenbloom, global head of McDermott’s Litigation Practice Group. “Josh, Warren and Dmitriy are all precisely that kind of lawyer – they understand the ever-changing health law and regulatory landscape and are well equipped to respond to complex matters, even before they result in litigation. The foresight and synergy between the members of this group already exists, and we look forward to advancing that using the McDermott platform.”
“McDermott boasts a world-class healthcare practice and we are thrilled to bring our expertise to complement and expand the Firm’s existing capabilities,” explained Josh. “We are very impressed with the Firm’s successful and robust litigation and trial practice, and we look forward to helping the Firm’s clients continue to get great results,” said Warren.
