REPRESENTATIVE CASES & TRANSACTIONS
Led a trial team defending complex questions of insurance coverage for whistleblower claims and a resulting multimillion dollar government settlement. The matter was successfully resolved shortly before the jury trial began, which would have focused on the question of government contracts fraud by the insured/adverse party.
Successfully resolved a $65 million professional liability claim against an insurance broker by a customer alleging deliberate underinsurance following a catastrophic loss.
Represented a bank purchaser of failed financial institution assets, totaling roughly $500 million, in resolving its most challenging credits. The bank received accolades from the FDIC regarding its efficient and cost-effective performance under the FDIC's "Loss Share Program."
Resolved congressional and FDIC inquiries into a bank's loan workout and collection practices, resulting in no action against the financial institution.
Litigated and resolved numerous "business divorce" cases involving, for example, manufacturing, importing, hospitality and a medical practice.
