My practice focuses on meeting clients’ business objectives in insurance placement and insurance recovery. I regularly advise Fortune 10 and other companies on complex insurance programs involving manuscript and specialty policies, including programs with multi-national coverage towers of $500 million to $1 billion, and programs incorporating various risk transfer and financing mechanisms, such as fronting programs, paid deductible programs, and collateral agreements. My practice spans all aspects of policyholder insurance coverage, from initial policy placement and renewals to claims management and litigation, both in the United States and abroad.   I have handled insurance matters involving virtually every type of property and casualty insurance policy available in the market today, including agricultural and crop insurance, commercial auto (including UM, UIM, and PIP), commercial general liability, crime, cyber, directors and officers and entity liability (for both public and private companies), errors and omissions and professional liability (including Owners Protective Professional Indemnity (OPPI)), employment practices liability, fidelity bonds, fiduciary liability, flood, inland marine, pollution and environmental, products liability, property (including BI and CBI), title insurance, workers’ compensation, and wrap‑up insurance programs (OCIPs and CCIPs). Disputed matters include civil litigation in state and federal courts at all levels (including bankruptcy courts), arbitration, mediation, and regulatory proceedings before state insurance commissioners. 

My practice extends to providing strategic advice and solutions for complex legal disputes outside of the insurance coverage arena. My experience includes formulating a litigation and negotiation strategy that led to the industry-wide settlement of claims brought by the entire payphone industry as well as crafting a nationwide insurance coverage strategy for welding distributors.
