“Bob has served as the highest ranking legal officer at one of the world's largest multiline property and casualty insurers. He brings 30 years of diverse experience to our insurance clients, and he also brings unique perspective and creative approaches to problem solving for all of Crowell & Moring's clients, regardless of their particular industry,” said Angela Styles, the chair of Crowell & Moring.

“Crowell & Moring has a world class practice on behalf of insurers and reinsurers. It is one of the few firms positioned to handle the full range of insurance industry challenges, from the reconciliation of legacy liabilities to new issues driven by the increasing internationalization and regulation of the marketplace. I've known many of the lawyers at Crowell for decades, and I am thrilled to be part of this team,” Mr. Cusumano said.

“Because they take on risk of every kind, insurers are at the financial center of societal and political developments, and the industry acts as a clearinghouse for potential liabilities imposed by courts and regulators everywhere in the world. Our clients need to anticipate these developments while simultaneously learning from history. I'm excited to be part of a diverse team that has had so much first-hand experience resolving the most complex problems that have emerged over the past few decades, from financial accounting investigations, to regulatory innovation or overreach, to the full spectrum of liability-distribution issues emerging from toxic tort, asbestos, environmental contamination, and other issues,” Mr. Cusumano added.

Mr. Cusumano is the founder and chief executive officer of the Legal Horizons Foundation, a non-profit initiative dedicated to the enhancement of the rule of law around the world, and a member of the American Law Institute. He earned his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and his B.A. from Harvard College.
