Blank Rome LLP is pleased to announce that Jeffrey “Jeff” L.
Schulman has joined the firm's market-leading Insurance Recovery
group as a partner in New York. Jeff is a highly regarded insurance
recovery litigator and counselor who represents policyholders in
complex coverage matters across various industries. Jeff joins
Blank Rome from Pasich LLP, an insurance recovery boutique law
firm, where he served as Managing Partner.
“We are delighted to welcome Jeff to the firm and to our premier
Insurance Recovery practice,” said Grant S. Palmer, Blank Rome's
Chair and Managing Partner. “Jeff brings tremendous experience
helping policyholders understand and enforce their rights to
coverage, as well as a stellar reputation in the insurance recovery
field. His experience further enhances the depth and breadth of our
leading Insurance Recovery group and national litigation team.”
Jeff represents commercial and high net worth individual
policyholders across a variety of industries in a wide range of
insurance coverage matters, including insurance broker liability,
construction defect, product liability, director and officer,
multimedia, asbestos, sexual abuse matters, and first-party claims.
He also regularly handles substantial business and commercial
litigation and contract disputes. Jeff has tried numerous jury and
bench cases to verdict and has successfully argued in the state and
federal appellate courts. He also routinely resolves commercial
disputes by way of mediation and arbitration for individual and
corporate clients.
“We are thrilled to have Jeff join our group as we strategically
expand our team and capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our
clients across the country,” said James R. Murray, partner and
co-chair of the firm's Insurance Recovery group. “Jeff has
significant jury trial experience, which is a valuable skill in the
insurance recovery field. I have had the privilege of trying jury
cases with Jeff and was impressed by his presence and effectiveness
in the courtroom. He is also a great colleague and friend, which
makes him a perfect fit for our firm culture, and we are eager to
work with him and introduce him to new colleagues throughout the
firm.”
“I am excited to join Blank Rome's Insurance Recovery group,
which I believe is the best in the country,” said Jeff. “I have the
utmost respect for the group's attorneys, who are not only
outstanding lawyers, but also wonderful people. I also look forward
to collaborating with attorneys across Blank Rome’s many practices
and industries to provide the highest level of service and advocacy
to our clients.”
Jeff is ranked in Chambers USA for “Insurance: Dispute
Resolution: Policyholder” and recognized by Legal 500. He was also
recognized as a Northeast Trailblazer by The American Lawyer as an
attorney that "moved the needle in the legal industry."
Additionally, he was named a Litigation Trailblazer by The National
Law Journal, a series that spotlights professionals who are agents
of change in their respective practice areas. Jeff earned his J.D.
from Brooklyn Law School and his B.A. from New York University.
