In his new role as managing partner of Robinson & Cole, Stephen E. Goldman says he plans to continue building the Hartford-based firm’s culture of “collaboration and loyalty. It is a key reason why Robinson & Cole has continued to exist for 170 years.”

Goldman, a trial lawyer who focuses on insurance coverage and class action litigation, has been with the 200-lawyer firm for many years – he joined as a summer associate in 1979 and became an associate in 1980 and a partner in 1987.
