He has particular expertise representing policyholders seeking coverage under D&O policies for the defense of civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions, an area in which he has secured a precedent-setting decision in New York state court.

Before joining HNRK, Brad practiced at Covington & Burling LLP and at Schlam Stone & Dolan LLP, where he established and led the firm’s insurance recovery practice. He also served as a law clerk to the Honorable David G. Trager of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

He has lectured at the ABA Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee Annual Conference, the Federal Bar Council, and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. Brad has also contributed to Chambers and Partners Insurance and Reinsurance Global Practice Guide’s New York section since 2024.

Brad serves as coverage counsel to a wide range of companies and organizations, including Southwest Airlines, Englewood Health, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Recently, Brad has represented the Archdiocese of New York in coverage litigation arising from thousands of sexual abuse claims brought under New York’s Child Victims Act and Adult Survivors Act. Some of Brad’s notable victories include: successfully negotiating insurance coverage for the settlement of high-profile litigation against the Long Island Power Authority arising from fires on the Rockaway Peninsula during Superstorm Sandy; obtaining a preliminary injunction directing excess insurers for hedge fund Platinum Partners to advance $15 million in defense costs for a federal criminal prosecution; obtaining a preliminary injunction from the Northern District of California directing Clear Blue Specialty Insurance Company to advance defense costs to Ozy Media, Inc.’s CEO related to a high-profile criminal prosecution in the Eastern District of New York; and winning summary judgment on behalf of a romaine lettuce producer seeking coverage under a product contamination policy for losses arising from E. coli outbreaks.
