Client Successes

• Obtained a precedent-setting insurance recovery for a construction joint venture in connection with the multimillion-dollar expense the client incurred to repair its own defective workmanship. This win was the first case to address the LEG3 endorsement found in many builders risk policies.
• Compelled insurers to cover defense costs for multiple manufacturing companies faced with Illinois Biometric Privacy Act (BIPA) class action litigation, creating an avenue for other companies facing similar circumstances to secure coverage under their commercial general liability policies.
• Secured a multimillion-dollar insurance recovery for a large construction firm resulting from cyber losses caused by a server failure that stalled the construction of a large Canadian hospital.
• Served as settlement counsel for a chemical manufacturer that was alleged to have contaminated a city's water supply and secured insurance coverage that funded the substantial settlement of the related toxic tort and environmental litigation.
