Insurance and financial institutions litigator James Jorden is leading a team of 14 partners from Carlton Fields, where he had been a name partner, to Philadelphia-based Drinker Biddle & Reath.
The move expands Drinker Biddle's Washington, D.C., office, gives the firm, ranked No. 74 among the Am Law 100, a new outpost in Hartford, Connecticut, and paves the way for a new Miami location as well.
Jorden's 70-lawyer firm, Jorden Burt, merged with Tampa-based Carlton Fields in 2014, and the firm formally became Carlton Fields Jorden Burt. Carlton Fields dropped Jorden Burt from its name Feb. 28.
