What CIPRIANI & WERNER PC does

Cipriani & Werner, P.C. is a full-service regional law firm founded in 1985, headquartered in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania with its primary office in Pittsburgh. The firm employs 101-250 professionals and operates through 14+ offices across the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware), Southeast (Georgia), and New England (Massachusetts). Its core competency is insurance defense litigation, with roots in representing insureds on behalf of insurance carriers, and the firm has expanded into adjacent practice areas including workers' compensation, employment and discrimination, mass tort, commercial litigation, insurance coverage/fraud/bad faith, cybersecurity breach, motor vehicle, product liability, professional liability, medical malpractice, life sciences, construction, municipal law, and appellate practice.

The firm serves a vertical-focused client base across five primary segments: insurance companies (defense counsel for covered claims, coverage opinions, bad faith litigation), healthcare organizations (medical malpractice defense, HIPAA compliance, hospital and physician representation), transportation companies (commercial trucking defense, FMCSA compliance, catastrophic injury defense), banking and financial institutions (commercial banking litigation, regulatory compliance), and corporate clients (entity formation, governance, employment compliance). Key clients include Fortune 500 corporations, national insurance carriers, healthcare systems, and commercial motor carriers.

Cipriani & Werner generates revenue through professional services billing, primarily hourly fees for litigation, flat fees for certain matters, and contingency arrangements where applicable. The firm employs an enterprise field sales motion, with attorneys cultivating clients through industry associations, professional memberships, peer referrals, RFPs, and direct outreach to practice group leaders. The firm holds an AV-Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell and has earned recognition through Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, and various regional peer-reviewed awards. No proprietary technology platform or productized offering is disclosed; the firm's infrastructure consists of standard professional services operations across its multi-office footprint.
