Samuel D. Levy has joined Blank Rome as a partner in the Corporate Litigation group.

Levy focuses his practice on all aspects of general commercial and business litigation, from inception through trial and appeal. He comes to Blank Rome from Wuersch & Gering and is based in the Firm’s New York office, which recently welcomed more than 10 attorneys from Dickstein Shapiro as well as insurance coverage partner Lisa M. Campisi.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Sam to Blank Rome,” said Alan J. Hoffman, chairman and managing partner. “Sam’s experience in the retail and luxury goods sector will be a fantastic addition to our nationally recognized corporate litigation practice.”

Levy also has extensive experience in the luxury retail space. In this area, he frequently works on licensing, antitrust and commercial disputes between manufacturers, distributors and retailers. He provides business counsel to foreign manufacturers, particularly in Italy and Switzerland, on operating in and complying with U.S. federal and state laws, as well as advice on how to target U.S. buyers and make an impact on the U.S. retail environment.

“I am excited to join the team of seasoned attorneys at Blank Rome,” said Levy. “I have been seeking a national platform and expanded offerings for my clients as their legal needs have grown nationally in scope, complexity and size. The geographical reach and depth of knowledge at Blank Rome will help expand my practice and service offering to include tax, intellectual property, and labor and employment matters, among others.”
