To further support clients facing complex and high-exposure litigation resulting from catastrophic events, Marshall Dennehey has launched a Catastrophic Claims Litigation Practice Group within its Casualty Department. Attorneys in the practice group defend clients against claims arising from large-scale accidents, explosions, environmental disasters, construction collapses, high-rise fires, product liability claims, mass shootings and more. 

Twenty-seven attorneys across Marshall Dennehey's six Pennsylvania offices have been selected to the 2023 edition of Pennsylvania Super Lawyers magazine. A Thomson Reuters business, Super Lawyers is a rating service of lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected for this honor. The selection process is multi-phased and includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations.

Marshall Dennehey has earned a coveted spot in the BTI Client Service 100 report, as recommended by corporate counsel. The report is based on research with more than 24,000 buyers of professional services, who rank firms according to performance of 17 activities that drive superior client relationships. Among the report’s findings, Marshall Dennehey was also one of only 50 law firms named to the BTI Midsize Client Service Masters list.

Sarah B. Cole, shareholder in Marshall Dennehey’s Wilmington, Delaware office, has been named Managing Attorney of the office. She inherits the position from Kevin J. Connors who served in the role for 27 years and who will maintain a robust practice with the firm. The Wilmington office currently houses 18 attorneys who practice in the areas of casualty, professional liability, health care and workers’ compensation litigation.

The class is the largest in the firm’s 60-year history and all but one were previously associates of the firm.  These new shareholders represent the firm's four core departments – Casualty, Professional Liability, Health Care and Workers' Compensation – and come from 12 of the firm's 19 regional offices.
