Two Executive Hires Add Decades of Specialized Experience in the Legal Risk Sector
EPIC continues its Law Firm Group expansion with the addition of Dan Knise and Eileen Garczynski, Esq. to the firm. Based in Washington D.C., Dan and Eileen will work with EPIC’s law firm clients to both assess and address their risk management and insurance needs.
Dan joins EPIC as Principal following a 20-year term at Ames & Gough where he served in leadership roles including Executive Chair, Chief Executive Officer and President. Throughout his career, he led region-wide efforts to win the right to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Washington D.C., Virginia and Maryland, and has held various senior management positions at Marsh & McLennan and its predecessor firm Johnson & Higgins.
Eileen has over 35 years of experience in the insurance and legal sector. She joins EPIC as Principal from Ames & Gough.
