An experienced litigator and trusted counsel to global leaders in insurance, I have over a decade of experience litigating high-stakes coverage matters and bad faith actions in state and federal courts, as well as counseling insurers on good faith claims-handling practices and complex coverage matters. I serve the firm as a leader of the GIS Florida Team.I have counseled insurers on the intricacies of a wide range of policy forms, including commercial general liability (CGL), commercial auto and trucking liability, directors and officers (D&O), environmental cleanup, professional liability, and equine mortality policies. As a litigator, I've defended insurers at trial and appeal in state and federal courts in Florida, New York, and New Jersey. My experience includes declaratory judgment and breach of contract actions, actions for reformation or rescission, Dram Shop Act claims, construction defect and construction accident claims, premises and auto liability matters, and bad faith actions involving catastrophic automobile accidents and sexual abuse claims. I have also participated in mediations and conferences with insured and claimants to resolve primacy of coverage issues.In addition to my experience as a lead trial attorney and outside counsel, I draw on experience earned as claims counsel in the environmental specialty claims department of a major multinational insurance company, managing high-profile first- and third-party claims arising under environmental, contractors, professional, and general liability policies. Management of these multimillion-dollar matters involved analysis of coverage positions for claims arising under ISO-form and manuscript policies, settlement negotiations, proactive identification of subrogation opportunities, and supervision of outside counsel as necessary.
