Continuing its national expansion, Lowenstein Sandler has opened an office in Washington, DC. The new office brings together accomplished, sophisticated lawyers in the firm’s antitrust, investment management, commercial and insurance litigation practices.
The office will initially be staffed by five partners. Lowenstein’s antitrust chair Jeff Blumenfeld, commercial litigation partner Miguel Pozo, and investment management partner Matthew Magidson are relocating to Washington from New York and New Jersey. They are joined by four new lawyers — insurance litigation partners Andrew Reidy and Cathy Serafin, counsel Joseph Saka and associate Courtney Alvarez, all previously with Dickstein Shapiro. In addition, Michael McGaughey, also previously with Dickstein Shapiro, will be joining Lowenstein Sandler as a partner in Los Angeles, expanding the firm’s litigation capabilities in California.
“This is a natural extension of our strategy to build our national platform with talented, well-respected lawyers in our core practice areas,” said Gary Wingens, Lowenstein Sandler’s chairman and managing partner. “We are excited to open the office with just the right mix of seasoned current partners and distinguished new colleagues. Our DC office will add an important new dimension to how we serve clients in our core industries, and will immediately make Lowenstein a player in a dynamic regional business community with a large and rich pool of legal talent.”
The new office is located at 2200 Pennsylvania Ave. The firm plans to immediately expand the office by recruiting additional lawyers for its litigation practices, as well as other core areas of the firm, such as intellectual property, life sciences, technology, investment management and its capital markets-based practices.
