Everyone has insurance assets, and even the most sophisticated companies do not fully understand how to maximize them. The result is that policyholders often leave millions of dollars on the table in their moments of greatest need. That’s where I come in.
My goals with every client are simple:
1. Improve Claim Outcomes
How?
- by applying best practices to claim reporting
- by moving thoughtfully through the claim process
- by fighting wrongful coverage denials (including bringing coverage and insurer bad faith lawsuits when necessary)
2. Increase the Value of Your Insurance Assets
How?
- by identifying gaps in coverage
- by negotiating for better policy language
- by helping you build the best brokerage and coverage team
3. Harmonize Risk Transfer Between Insurance and Commercial Contracts
How?
- by analyzing insurance and indemnity clauses in the commercial contracts
- by negotiating for better contractual language
- by building systems to leverage that language into positive outcomes when the worst occurs
WE GET RESULTS.
My teams have helped policyholders worldwide recover over $350,000,000 for claims arising from business disputes, product liability, mass torts, toxic torts, environmental site liability, natural disasters (like hurricanes and wildfires), securities litigation, government investigations, data breaches, data privacy claims, reps and warranties breaches, and labor/employment claims.
Beyond the courtroom (or mediator’s table), I have advised on complex coverage placements and renewals under every major line of commercial insurance. I have also worked on captive insurance and reinsurance arrangements.
Law360 recognized me as a “Rising Star – Top Attorneys Under 40” and PropertyCasualty360 named me an “Insurance Luminary” for my precedent-setting advocacy, strategic acumen, and collaborative, efficient approach to problem-solving.
