Philadelphia-based Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin announced Friday that it will bring on about 30 of New York City-based Jones Hirsch Connors Miller & Bull’s 34 lawyers. Both firms focus heavily on insurance defense.

Marshall Dennehey said in a press release that it expects to complete the move by mid-2014, with Jones Hirsch lawyers joining Marshall Dennehey’s Manhattan, Long Island and New Jersey offices, as well as a new office in White Plains, N.Y.
