David F Cutter

Practice Areas

David Cutter focuses his practice on representing insurers in coverage disputes. David has a diverse practice, handling disputes across numerous product lines, including management liability, professional liability, commercial general liability, commercial transportation, and property coverages.

David also litigates commercial matters across a variety of subject areas involving contracts, business torts, securities, and professional liability.

David has a nationwide litigation practice. In the last three years alone, David has served as lead counsel in state and federal courts in nearly twenty states, as well as several domestic and international arbitrations.

As David is known to say, litigation should be used as a tool to resolve disputes. Clients appreciate this perspective, as well as David’s ability to creatively use litigation to move matters towards resolution. When matters are not amenable to a compromise, however, David’s breadth of experience enables him to efficiently obtain favorable results for clients.

While much of David’s practice involves litigation, David also provides insurers advice in a monitoring role for claims involving complex underlying matters and coverage issues. In that capacity, David helps his clients understand their coverage, defense, and settlement obligations, assists with the evaluation of underlying exposures, and develops unique strategies for closing claims.

Career

David joined BatesCarey in July 2019 from Clyde & Co as a partner at the firm. He is admitted to practice in Illinois, District of Columbia, Maryland and numerous federal courts, including the Trial Bar of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
