Lee said that the state of Connecticut has a strong market for the insurance recovery practice. He noted that Anderson Kill’s decision to open a new office in Stamford as now is a tactical business strategy since he believes the insurance industry will boom in the area in the coming years. “We see tremendous opportunity in Connecticut, particularly on the insurance recovery front, where law firms have largely left the field to the insurance industry. At the same time, we will have a robust corporate capability and will be able to offer clients a full suite of legal services.”
Robert M. Horkovich, the firm’s managing partner, explained that opening a new office in Connecticut is part of Anderson Kill’s long-term business plan. “Anderson Kill long has successfully represented policyholders in Connecticut – securing for them significant insurance recoveries and helping them with business problems, so our Connecticut office will be building from a strong foundation.” Horkovich also expressed his full confidence in Lee’s ability to lead the firm’s operations in Stamford. He said that Lee’s expertise is certainly a big contribution to the firm’s expansion plan. “Charlie in particular is a star in insurance recovery, and also is a versatile litigator with strong roots in the Connecticut legal community. We are looking forward to helping clients in New England across a broad range of legal matters.”
