Will is a partner at SDV and a career coverage attorney, having advocated for policyholders since he was a summer associate in the firm's Northeast office. After beginning his practice in the Northeast, Will relocated to California to help start the firm's West Coast office. Will represents policyholders in all aspects of insurance and risk transfer. He is regularly called upon to assist in the policy placement process. In this role, Will helps policyholders and their brokers put together a comprehensive coverage program where all lines of coverage work seamlessly together to avoid gaps. His work in this capacity, interacting with brokers and underwriters, gives him a greater practical understanding of the market and its intent than coverage firms focused solely on insurance litigation. Will also regularly litigates complex insurance recovery actions across the country. He has handled cases from the initial stages of strategy all the way through trial to verdict as lead counsel. Along with cases and bar admissions in California, Connecticut, and New York, where he practices regularly, Will is often admitted pro hac vice in other jurisdictions and has represented clients in arbitration and litigation in state and federal courts in Washington, Indiana, Illinois, Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, Massachusetts, Missouri, Iowa, Hawaii, New Jersey, and Delaware. Will has helped policyholders recover hundreds of millions of dollars of insurance money across a broad array of different lines of coverage. Will has handled insurance disputes involving general liability, property, builders’ risk, cyber, pollution liability, professional liability (including directors and officers, errors and omissions, and contractors’ or owners’ professional and protective indemnity), product recall, product contamination, excess workers’ compensation, employment practice liability, jewelers block, private all risk jewelry, marine cargo, and homeowners’ insurance policies. Will is also intimately familiar with non-traditional variations of these lines of coverage such as additional insured coverage, pooled limits risk, high-SIR homebuilder programs, self-insurance, and captive insurance. Will has secured insurance coverage for commercial, civil, and residential construction and real estate companies, non-profits, universities, manufacturers, retailers, jewelers, engineers, architects, rental companies, environmental companies, cannabis producers, farmers, food suppliers, solar companies, restaurants, and individuals.
