Joseph Baiocco

Biography

Joseph Baiocco has more than 20 years of experience defending claims in the trucking and transportation, retail and hospitality industries. He handles matters for clients from inception through resolution by settlement, dispositive motion, trial or mediation/arbitration. Joe actively litigates cases in state and federal courts in New York and Connecticut and oversees cases in other jurisdictions across the country. He often is admitted on a case-by-case basis to handle matters in other jurisdictions.

Joe’s involvement in matters can begin as soon as accidents occur as he coordinates emergency responses to catastrophic events. This includes accident investigation, expert retention, and interacting with law enforcement and governmental investigative agencies, all with a view toward early case assessment and formulation of a solid litigation strategy. Joe is called on to supervise, manage and assess his clients’ loss portfolios through his direct handling and supervision of pending matters and consulting on matters being handled outside the firm through claim review panels.

Litigation management is one of Joe’s strong suits. He keeps a keen eye on the big picture to avoid unnecessary litigation expenses and maintains regular communication with clients to keep them apprised of the firm’s progress on their open matters. He accomplishes this through early collaboration with his clients on case assessment and by establishing and executing litigation strategy.

Prior to joining Wilson Elser, Joe was a prosecutor in New York City.
