In a move reflecting Goodwin Procter’s ongoing commitment to expanding its expertise in risk management, Jacquelyn Burke has joined the firm as a partner. Burke’s appointment was announced by the firm on Monday, and she will be bolstering the Boston office’s capabilities in its risk management and insurance practice.
Burke brings a wealth of experience in advising clients on complex insurance and risk management issues. She specializes in working with institutional clients to manage insurance programs, including coverage placement, and she is adept at navigating major corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, and bankruptcy proceedings. Her role will also involve designing custom insurance programs and policies tailored to unique risks, particularly in connection with emerging technologies, which is a critical and increasingly complex area for corporations.
This strategic hiring highlights Goodwin’s investment in strengthening its expertise and resource offerings in risk management — a crucial domain given today’s rapidly evolving global business landscape. Burke’s experience and insight will likely be invaluable assets to the firm as it continues to respond to the diverse and dynamic needs of its clientele.
