New York, April 3, 2013 – Lowenstein Sandler LLP announced today that Christopher C. Loeber has joined the firm as a partner in its Insurance Coverage practice. Chris will focus on complex commercial disputes involving insurance recovery, commercial litigation and corporate investigations. Previously, he was a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP.
"Chris possesses the committed work ethic and loyal client devotion for which Lowenstein is well known," said Gary M. Wingens, Lowenstein Sandler chairman and managing partner. "His detailed knowledge and experience working within various industries, such as life sciences, financial services and food distribution, makes him an ideal fit for our diverse Insurance practice.”
Chris has served as lead counsel in a wide variety of insurance recovery, commercial litigation and corporate investigation matters. His expertise in insurance coverage disputes includes representing policyholders in oilfield services, food manufacturing and distribution, life sciences, retail, financial services, franchising, and other complex industries.

Lowenstein really is an ideal platform for me and my clients.”
