Clyde & Co has grown its Miami office with a 12-strong insurance team, led by partners from Hinshaw & Culbertson.

Insurance partners Sina Bahadoran and Eric Hiller are joining alongside a team of 10 lawyers and two other legal support staff.

Bahadoran has been at Hinshaw & Culbertson since 2003 and was a member of the executive committee.

This is the first major hire for the firm in Miami since its launch in 2016 through a merger with Thornton Davis Fein.

The new team represents insurance companies in high-profile insurance coverage litigation matters throughout the US.

They focus primarily on commercial general liability, errors and omissions (for lawyers, agents, and accountants), directors and officers, and employment practices liability policies.
