Katie McAllister, Stamford-based Trusts and Estates Partner.

Elizabeth Retersdorf, Hartford-based Insurance and Reinsurance Partner.

"It is a tremendous honor to be joining the ranks of such a talented, collegial and warm group of partners at Day Pitney. I am so grateful for the outpouring of support I have received from everyone here beginning the moment I walked in the doors, and I'm looking forward to this next chapter of my career." New Jersey-based Gretchen Blauvelt-Marquez, Capital Markets Partner.
