PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Saxton & Stump is pleased to announce that it has added highly experienced and decorated litigator Daniel J. Ferhat as the newest shareholder attorney in its growing Philadelphia office. Ferhat spent his career at the Philadelphia law firm White and Williams, litigating healthcare and medical professional liability for some of the city’s most significant health systems. Outside the courtroom, Ferhat also serves those same health systems as a trusted adviser, working proactively as a partner in risk management, peer review, and patient safety to prevent catastrophic lawsuits before they happen.
Ferhat is another high-profile hire for Saxton & Stump for its downtown Philadelphia office, including Mark Cedrone, Pauline Markey, Samuel Harrison, and Elizabeth Ray.
“It’s very exciting to have another accomplished attorney such as Dan join our thriving Philadelphia office,” Saxton & Stump CEO James W. Saxton said. “Dan’s stellar record as a trial attorney and strong reputation as a trusted adviser within the healthcare industry is well-documented. It’s another substantial addition to the firm, with even more to come for us in Philadelphia very soon.”
Ferhat is also a sought-after leader in the Philadelphia legal community. He’s a former president of the Philadelphia Association of Defense Counsel, which earned him the group’s President’s Award in 2021. The Defense Research Institute in Chicago awarded Ferhat with its “Exceptional Performance Award” in 2021. Ferhat is a fellow at the Academy of Trial Advocacy and has been named to the Pennsylvania Super Lawyers “Rising Stars” list several times.
“I’m proud to be joining Saxton & Stump to continue my medical malpractice defense career for the region’s health networks,” Ferhat said. “The recognition the attorneys in the firm’s Philadelphia office have and the work they do makes this opportunity invigorating for me. I’m very excited to collaborate with this team and contribute to its future growth.”
