Practice Areas

Ronald Schiller, Chair of Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller, has a broadly diversified trial, appellate and arbitration practice. Ron is a business trial lawyer, appellate lawyer and counselor. Ron advises financial institutions, insurers and reinsurers, technology companies, and other businesses in high-stakes litigation matters, particularly where taking the case through trial or appeal needs to be part of the client’s arsenal.

Ron and his trial teams have prepared to try and tried two to four cases a year in courts and before arbitration panels every year for more than a decade. He and his teams have also prepared and argued appeals in appellate courts around the country at the rate of several a year. Most of this work has been for an array of insurers and reinsurers in sophisticated coverage, bad faith, and reinsurance disputes. A substantial part of this practice includes representing insurers and reinsurers in business disputes against financial institutions, other large companies, and healthcare and managed care companies on E&O, D&O, professional liability, reinsurance, and ERISA coverage disputes. The firm’s practice extends to trial and appeals courts in more than 25 jurisdictions. These cases include disputes in the billions of dollars. Many of these matters have helped define the coverage exposure in the state, with several cases even now poised to clarify the scope of coverage or exclusions under California, Washington State, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Louisiana law.
