Anderson Kill has opened an office in Los Angeles, California to facilitate and expand the firm’s insurance recovery work on the west coast.
Bridget Byrnes Hirsch, an experienced insurance recovery attorney who began her career with Anderson Kill, has returned to Anderson Kill as of counsel basis and will practice in Anderson Kill’s new office, located in the KPMG Building in Wells Fargo Plaza at 355 South Grand Avenue, just a few blocks from the Superior Court for Los Angeles County in downtown LA.
Ms. Hirsch joined Anderson Kill in 2002 and worked at Anderson Kill until 2008, representing corporations in business litigation, insurance recovery, bad faith, and bankruptcy matters.
