He handles a broad range of matters, including commercial liability, automobile, environmental, property, directors and officers, and professional liability. His insurance experience also includes serving as claims counsel for a multi-line property and casualty insurer. In that role, he coordinated environmental liability and construction claims, and analyzed policies to determine coverage of potential liabilities.
