Robert Novack Email & Phone Number

I am a trial lawyer with four decades of complex commercial litigation experience. My practice focuses on insurance coverage disputes, coverage counseling, and bad faith litigation. I also maintain a diverse litigation practice that has run the gamut of class action securities litigation and enforcement, commercial disputes, consumer fraud, employment, professional liability, probate and trust litigation, and shareholder/partnership disputes.In the insurance arena, I represent insurers on coverage matters involving directors and officers, securities, professional liability, media, privacy, employment, fidelity, public entity, and fiduciary claims. My recent notable matters include defending a $107M Bernard Madoff-related fidelity insurance coverage claim. Following a New York trial in which I reduced the damages exposure to $7M, I was successful in having the entire action dismissed on appeal. I also recently represented an insurer in a $54M multi-year tower insurance coverage action in New York. There, I persuaded the court that the insurer had no duty to pay defense costs for individual and proposed class action suits brought by mortgage borrowers because the policy lacked a duty-to-defend provision and the insured had not established the claims were covered.Outside of the insurance space, I've represented an array of noteworthy public and private institutions, businesses and organizations, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), one of the largest nutritional supplement companies in the world, major financial institutions, and a professional sports league. In recent matters, I represented the principals of a pharmaceutical startup, obtaining summary judgment in federal court in New York in an $18M investor lawsuit. I also recently recovered a $5M dollar award and attorney fees in New Jersey in a suit by a bank against a defaulting borrower-developer. Attorney Advertising
