Willkie Farr welcomes insurance team from Dewey
Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP has expanded its insurance transactions and regulatory practice with the addition of a 12 strong team from Dewey & LeBoeuf.
Based in New York, Washington DC and London, the team will represent insurance companies, investment banks and other financial institutions in M&A, capital markets and regulatory matters across four continents.
Joining the New York office alongside a team of three, Michael Groll will maintain his practice in corporate and securities law, specifically in public and private securities offerings, M&A and other insurance transactions.
Most recently he represented Aspen Insurance Holdings in its $150 million underwritten public offering of non-cumulative preference shares.
Thomas Cerabino, co-chairman of Willkie said, “We have worked closely with this team in a number of transactions over the years. They are among the most elite practitioners in their field and will add greatly to our capabilities in their areas of expertise.”
Alexander Dye, who heads up the insurance team with Groll said, “We look forward to working with the talented lawyers at Willkie to provide clients with the advice and service they have come to expect from us.”
Groll is listed in The International Who’s Who of Insurance and Reinsurance Lawyers.
