Polsinelli Adds Three Shareholders to Century City Office

Scales of JusticePolsinelli adds three shareholders from Top 100 & 200 Am Law firms to its Century CIty office to practice nationally. The firm welcomes experienced attorneys Noel S. Cohen, who focuses on commercial litigation; Richard C. Giller, who adds new insurance recovery capabilities; and, Travis F. Jackson, who joins and complements the nation’s fourth largest Health Care Practice.

Cohen combines strong advocacy skills, litigation experience and an understanding of clients’ business goals to deliver results in high profile and novel cases through settlement, arbitration and trial. His litigation practice focuses on complex commercial litigation, employment litigation and class action defense. He is actively involved in the community in various organizations including Race to Erase MS and C5LA, a youth leadership program. Public Counsel honored Cohen as the Pro Bono Attorney of the Year 2012.

Giller adds new depth to Los Angeles with a sophisticated Insurance Recovery Practice. He brings nearly 30 years of experience in complex commercial disputes. A strong advocate for policyholders, he focuses his practice on recovering insurance benefits for his clients from reluctant insurance companies. He has represented institutional policyholders across the country in complex business disputes with insurers, and in that capacity, he has successfully secured hundreds of millions of dollars of defense and indemnity payments for clients under a variety of insurance lines. He is also a member of the Los Angeles Chapter of RIMS, (Risk Insurance Management Society).

Jackson joins the firm’s growing and highly respected Health Care Practice which serves large, national health care organizations. Jackson identifies practical options to address the challenging issues facing hospitals and nonprofit organizations in today’s rapidly changing regulatory environment. He has experience assisting clients with a variety of tax and transactional matters to satisfy business objectives while also furthering their missions. Jackson serves as the vice chair for Tax and Finance of the American Health Lawyers Association. Polsinelli is now in 18 cities nationwide with more than 720 attorneys.

To meet clients’ needs, Polsinelli added a Los Angles office in July of 2011 and as firm approaches the third anniversary of a LA presence, the office has now tripled in size. In 2013 to accommodate strategic growth, the national law firm moved to Century Plaza Towers at Century Park. The firm has leased nearly 26,000 square feet of Class “A” trophy office space at the landmark project, for ten years.

During a five-year period, The American Lawyer has ranked Polsinelli as the fastest growing law firm in America. Recently, the firm moved to the Am Law 100 and is currently ranked #93. In 2013, the firm moved up to the 69th position from 78th in The National Law Journal’s ranking of the largest U.S. based law firms.

The American Lawyer Magazine featured Polsinelli in its June 2013 issue.

Polsinelli focuses on finding practical solutions for clients in health care, financial services, real estate, life sciences and technology, energy and business litigation matters.
