NJLJ's On the Move and After Hours

Katharine A. Coffey, a Real Estate Partner, has a new leadership post after being tapped as vice chair of the firm's corporate and business law department.

Based in Parsippany, Coffey most recently cochaired Day Pitney's real estate, environmental and land use team. She'll now serve alongside R. Scott Beach, the current chair of the corporate department, and will succeed Susan Huntington, who served as vice chair since September 2019 and is the current health care practice chair.

Coffey is also among three Day Pitney attorneys to be elevated recently, the firm announced, with Marie C. Bertrand of the firm's Hartford office succeeding her as the real estate, environmental and land use cochair. Sebastian Lombardi, also based in Hartford, will now serve as chair of the energy and utilities practice.

Gregory A. Hayes, Day Pitney's managing partner, said, "We congratulate Kate, Marie, and Sebastian on their new leadership roles at the firm, and we look forward to working with each of them as they build on the successes of their predecessors."
