Siesko Partners Addresses Merger Talks

NEW YORK, March 4, 2010 - Siesko Partners, LLC, an insurance coverage and claims services law firm,
announced today that it will not be merging with several London-based law
firms, as has been speculated recently.

While an alliance between a London law firm and David Siesko-led Siesko
Partners may have been attractive, the parties decided to not move forward at
this time.

Siesko, former Chief Claim Officer for Zurich Financial Services Global
Corporate Division, spent a portion of his career working at the London law
firm Lovells, plus his global claims management role included supervision of
Zurich Financial Service's UK Division, among other European Divisions. For
these reasons, Siesko Partners potentially could have provided an ideal
conduit for a London-firm's growth into the U.S. market.

"While I can confirm that we have had some serious conversations with
London firms regarding potential synergies, these discussions have come to an
end," said Siesko. "Siesko Partners remains focused on developing its core
business of resolving complex coverage disputes and enhancing our carrier
clients' claims management operations."

While Siesko Partners is no longer actively pursuing potential
opportunities in the London legal market, Siesko made clear that
opportunities for growth in new directions are always being considered and
are welcome. "While we remain committed to our coverage practice, we continue
to focus on opportunities that enhance our position and allow our firm to
grow."
