Dilworth Paxson Expands New York Office by Adding Insurance Team
Dilworth Paxson LLP has expanded its presence in New York with the addition of three experienced attorneys—Stephen M. Lazare, Yale Glazer, and Andrew M. Premisler—to its Insurance Services Group. The team joins from Lazare Potter Glazer & Moyle LLP and brings extensive experience representing insurers in complex coverage counseling and litigation across various areas including commercial liability, property/casualty claims, professional liability, construction defect cases, environmental issues, employment practices, bad faith actions, and other extra-contractual exposures. This move follows the recent addition of three real estate lawyers to Dilworth's New York office in May 2026. The firm aims to strengthen its insurance coverage practice by leveraging these new hires' expertise alongside existing litigation and regulatory strengths. Co-Managing Partner Patrick Northen emphasized that this strategic expansion enhances client service across multiple jurisdictions, particularly in the mid-Atlantic region. The newly added attorneys have notable backgrounds: Lazare has over 40 years of experience; Glazer brings trial-level insurance coverage knowledge from his time as an assistant district attorney; and Premisler specializes in high-stakes litigation. Collectively, they aim to provide comprehensive support for insurers throughout the lifecycle of claims and disputes.
