David A. Gauntlett Email & Phone Number

David Gauntlett is the owner of Gauntlett & Associates. He is a pre-eminent national authority on policyholder insurance coverage recovery for IP, Employment, False Advertising, Unfair Competition, Antitrust and other Business Tort Claims under a wide array of insurance policies. Gauntlett & Associates has secured judgments and obtained recovery of over $200 M from insurers making new in a variety of forums nationwide. David Gauntlett also serves as a consultant/expert in procuring insurance coverage to address risks for cyberspace, intellectual property, employment, fiduciary, error & omissions, directors & officers as well as business tort fiduciary breach, real estate development and trustee management risks. Its “buried treasure” project researches and analyzes insurer denials many of which are worth revisiting because either the insurer’s conclusions are erroneous or no longer pertinent because fact developments in the underlying action reveal why a defense is now owed so long as the statute of limitations from the conclusion of the underlying action has not expired (in many jurisdictions it is six years). These insurance recovery cases remain viable. David has authored the "IP Attorney’s Handbook for Insurance Coverage in Intellectual Property Disputes" (ABA, Second Edition 2012) and "Insurance Coverage of intellectual Property Assets" (Aspen Second Edition 2014). David was a contributing author for New Appleman on Insurance Law Library Edition chapter on “Intellectual Property Insurance” (LexisNexis 2011) and the New Appleman Insurance Law Practice Guide, “Understanding Intellectual Property Insurance” (LexisNexis 2009).
