After 33 years of running his own firm, veteran civil defense lawyer John “Jack” Delany has opted to combine his practice into Philadelphia-based Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin by the end of this month.

Delany Law is in the process of dissolving and closing offices in Philadelphia and New Jersey, as Delany and his colleagues join the Philadelphia and Mount Laurel, New Jersey, offices of Marshall Dennehey on Oct. 31, leaders of both firms said in interviews Wednesday. The casualty department of Marshall Dennehey is gaining five lawyers and a team of legal assistants out of the transaction.
