Hartford-based Shipman & Goodwin today opened an office in
Washington -- and the launch came with a major new client: The Hartford.
The
Washington office will start with six lawyers, all formerly with Hogan
and Hartson in Washington. It will be led by partner James P. Ruggeri,
longtime national counsel for insurance coverage for The Hartford
Financial Services Group.
"We join a strong existing litigation
group and gain talented colleagues in Connecticut that will allow us to
grow the practice and continue to provide first-rate service to The
Hartford on a national basis," said Ruggeri.
Shipman and Goodwin,
founded in 1919, has 140 lawyers. Besides Hartford and Washington, the
firm has offices in Stamford, Greenwich and Lakeville.
"Our
presence in D.C. will also be a further boost to other current firm
practices with national reach, including health care, government
investigations, petroleum marketing, export-import compliance and
bankruptcy," said Scott Murphy, the firm's managing partner.
