Foley & Lardner has amped up its insurance and reinsurance litigation practice with the addition of a seven-lawyer group that formerly practiced in the now-shuttered Chicago office of Lovells.

Headed by partners Gail Goering, Eric Haab and Neal Moglin, the group also includes counsel Kay Wilde, senior counsel Peter Steffen and associates Edward Diffin and Katherine Markowski, the law firm announces in a press release. They will work in Foley’s office in Chicago, which has about 160 lawyers. The Milwaukee-based law firm has over 1,100 lawyers in 21 offices in the United States, Asia and Europe, according to its website.

“The arrival of Gail, Eric, Neal and their colleagues marks a major accomplishment for Foley’s insurance and reinsurance practice,” says Gordon Davenport III, who chairs Foley’s insurance and reinsurance litigation practice group, in the release. “The vast experience they bring in advising clients on a broad array of complex insurance and reinsurance issues will further enhance the service our firm has been providing to clients in the insurance industry for more than 100 years.”
