Zelle LLP is pleased to announce the expansion of its insurance capabilities with the opening of an office in Atlanta, Georgia and the addition of partner James V. Chin. He will open the office on February 19, 2019.

“Zelle’s vision of having the best and brightest attorneys available to meet the legal needs of our diverse client base is enhanced by James joining the firm,” said Kerry Brown, a member of Zelle’s Executive Committee. “Atlanta is a strategic market for our firm and our U.S. and international insurance clients.”

“I am delighted to be joining a stellar group of attorneys. Zelle has an outstanding platform for national property insurance matters and a strong reputation in the industry,” said Chin. “We have been friendly competitors for years, and with this new collaboration, our clients will benefit from the combination of skill, experience and creativity that Zelle values.”

Chin is a litigator with more than 20 years of experience representing commercial property insurers and liability insurers in complex disputes. He has experience across a broad variety of sectors including construction, energy, industrial manufacturing, mining, hospitality, food processing and cyber. He has handled disputes in over 25 states. Chin was previously a partner in the Atlanta office of Carlton Fields.

Within the past few years, Zelle has continued its growth with new offices opened in Atlanta, Miami, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., an expanded Boston office, and the launch of Zelle International in London. The firm is poised to see further growth and build on its history of representing clients in their most challenging business disputes in venues across the United States and around the world.
