Pennsylvania Legal Awards Honors Wiggin and Dana Insurance Practice Group

March 14, 2024

Wiggin and Dana is proud to announce that it has been awarded with the Litigation Departments of the Year – Insurance Specialty award by ALM‘s Pennsylvania Legal Awards.

The Insurance Practice Group is led by Partners Joseph Grasso and Michael Menapace. The Group represents insurers, reinsurers, brokers, other professionals, and industry trade groups in a wide variety of matters, including coverage issues, defense and monitoring of complex claims, policy wordings, and internal business practices.

This achievement follows last year’s recognition at the New England Legal Awards where the firm was also awarded Litigation Departments of the Year – Insurance Specialty award. These recognitions highlight the Insurance Practice Group’s strength across the Northeast.

ALM’s Pennsylvania Legal Awards ceremony will be held this year on May 15, 2024, at Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Philadelphia. The award ceremony honors those attorneys and firms who have made an indelible mark on the legal community in Pennsylvania and Delaware and beyond through their unwavering dedication to the profession. Winners of the 2024 Pennsylvania Legal Awards have been determined through a review of submissions sent in from attorneys and firms from across Pennsylvania and Delaware.
