Jerold Oshinsky, a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of FC&S Legal: The Insurance Coverage Law Information Center, and Linda Kornfeld have joined the insurance recovery group of Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman LLP as partners, and have launched the firm's Los Angeles office.

The move reunites them with Robin Cohen, their partner at a previous firm and the leader of Kasowitz's insurance recovery group.

Mr. Oshinsky and Ms. Kornfeld were partners at Jenner & Block, where Mr. Oshinsky served as co-chair of the firm's insurance litigation and counseling practice. Ms. Kornfeld will serve as head of Kasowitz's Los Angeles office.

“Jerry and Linda are as good as it gets, and teaming them with our already formidable insurance recovery attorneys creates the elite insurance group in the country,” said Marc Kasowitz, the founding and managing partner of Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman.

“Linda and I are delighted to reunite with Robin,” Mr. Oshinsky said. “Kasowitz's aggressive approach to litigation is a perfect fit for our practice, and we are excited to join the exceptional group Robin has created to push the boundaries of what we can achieve for our insurance recovery clients.”

Ms. Cohen added, “Jerry continues to pioneer many of the legal theories that underlie insurance recovery law today, and Linda has repeatedly proven her ability to obtain winning results for her clients in high-stakes cases. With their arrival, we will continue to expand nationally, while exploring new, creative strategies to meet our clients' needs in the rapidly evolving insurance area.”

Mr. Oshinsky and Ms. Kornfeld have worked with a variety of companies in, among others, the chemical, pharmaceutical, financial, food, education, and health industries, litigating complex insurance coverage issues and advising clients about how to maximize their insurance assets. Recently, they have been focusing on issues relating to cyber liability, intellectual property, antitrust, and sexual abuse claims, as well as natural disaster cases related to earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and superstorms such as Superstorm Sandy.

Mr. Oshinsky has a J.D. from Columbia University School of Law and a B.A. from Brooklyn College.

Ms. Kornfeld has a J.D. from the George Washington University Law School and a B.A. from the University of California, Los Angeles.

“This is an exceptional opportunity to join forces and to continue to build at Kasowitz,” Ms. Kornfeld said.
