After parting ways with Fowler White Burnett, litigator Rory Jurman has found a new home as a partner with Hinshaw & Culbertson's Fort Lauderdale office.
The announcement was made in a press release Monday touting the former Fowler White Burnett equity partner's experience within insurance coverage and complex litigation.
“Jurman provides strategic and cost-effective counsel to clients, which include Fortune 500 companies, insurers and self-insureds,” the release said, citing his handling of “virtually all types of general, excess and professional liability insurance policies, including employment liability, D&O liability and professional malpractice.”
The release included remarks from Ronald Kammer, the Florida-based co-chair of Hinshaw & Culbertson's National Insurance Services Practice Group.
“I'm delighted to welcome Rory to Hinshaw and our Insurance practice,” Kammer said. “I've known Rory for a number of years, and we're excited to introduce a person of his talent and accomplishment to our clients.”
Jurman was a major figure with Fowler White Burnett's insurance practice group before his departure. An email circulated within the firm on April 19 said the attorney was “no longer compatible with the culture and vision of Fowler White Burnett, and that it is in both parties' best interests to part ways.”
Jurman did not respond to requests for comment by press time. In the press release announcing his hire to Hinshaw & Culbertson, he said, ”My clients will benefit greatly from the synergies made possible by this move.”
“My decision to join Hinshaw was in their best interests as well as my own,” he said. “I'm looking forward to growing my practice, and I'm excited to build on Hinshaw's proud legacy of client service and take advantage of its national footprint and regional presence throughout Florida.”
