Blank Rome Welcomes Insurance Coverage Partner in New York

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Blank Rome LLP is pleased to announce that Lisa M. Campisi has joined the Firm’s New York office as a Partner in the Insurance Coverage group. Ms. Campisi comes to Blank Rome from Morgan Lewis. She focuses her practice on insurance coverage litigation, transactions, and counseling, and has extensive experience in all insurance-related areas in the representation of policyholders. Ms. Campisi joins the Firm following the addition of more than 100 attorneys from Dickstein Shapiro LLP in New York and Washington, D.C., in February, including the top-ranked policyholder practice.

“The Firm’s recent expansion in D.C. and New York has enabled us to help our clients handle the full range of legal challenges they face at an enhanced level,” said Alan J. Hoffman, Blank Rome’s Chairman and Managing Partner. “The addition of our colleagues from Dickstein Shapiro established an insurance coverage practice for Blank Rome, and Lisa’s impressive experience is an excellent complement to the team, as it continues to grow.”

Ms. Campisi has more than 20 years of experience and counsels clients on a variety of types of insurance coverage, including general reliability, representations and warranty coverage, cyber-liability, directors and officers insurance (“D&O”), employment practices liability (“EPL”), fiduciary liability, errors and omissions (“E&O”), professional liability, environmental, fidelity, fiduciary, crime, as well as other insurance coverages. Her practice also includes providing insurance consulting and advice on underwriting, claims handling, and other risk management issues.

“Our insurance coverage practice works with a large group of policyholders across a wide range of industries, and we are always looking for new and creative ways to recover insurance assets for our clients in areas where others were not able to,” said James R. Murray, Chair of the Insurance Coverage Practice Group. “Lisa has established herself as an innovative litigator, counselor, and trusted advisor in this area of the law and we are incredibly excited to have her on board as we continue to expand our team at Blank Rome.”

Ms. Campisi’s extensive experience applies to both domestic and foreign markets. She has wide-ranging experience in providing insurance diligence, consultation, and advice in connection with various mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings, as well as in the placement and negotiation of transactional-related coverage. She has been retained as an insurance expert, advisor, and consultant for a broad array of clients, including private equity firms and their portfolio companies, hedge funds, Fortune 100 companies, and financial services firms (including broker dealers).

“I am very excited to join Blank Rome’s insurance coverage practice,” said Ms. Campisi. “I knew the former Dickstein team through its incredible reputation as a nationally recognized insurance coverage group. Their experience, combined with the comprehensive, national platform Blank Rome offers, presents an outstanding opportunity for me to expand my practice. I look forward to working with Jim and the rest of the esteemed attorneys at Blank Rome as I take this next step in my career, and to continue to provide the best possible counsel to our clients.”

Ms. Campisi received her J.D. from Brooklyn Law School, and her B.A. from Barnard College.
