Leading Litigation Attorney Rejoin Dilworth Paxson

Dilworth Paxson LLP announced today that Jay Kagan rejoined the Firm’s Corporate and Litigation practice as an equity partner, resident in the firm’s Philadelphia office. Jay’s return marks the continuation of an 18-year legacy after a brief departure. 

“We are pleased to welcome Jay back in our partnership,” said Dilworth Chairman Larry McMichael. “With years of experience and expertise, Jay’s work stands out from others, making him a significant client producer and leader in litigation in the region and beyond. We’re looking forward to picking up where we left off and continuing our overall growth strategy through lateral recruits.”

Jay focuses his practice on complex corporate and commercial litigation, professional errors and omissions liability, fiduciary liability, directors & officers liability, securities fraud, and internal corporate investigations. He represents broker-dealers and registered representatives in matters before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). He has extensive experience handling all aspects of coverage analysis, claims management, mediation, and resolution of all types of claims, including securities class actions, derivative actions, and other complex litigation.

“Returning to Dilworth is like coming home,” said Jay Kagan. “I have tremendous confidence in the future of the firm and look forward to serving clients and further developing my practice at Dilworth.”
Jay earned his J.D. from Rutgers Law School and his B.A. Rutgers College.
