Richard draws upon over 30 years of experience to craft litigation strategies for complex insurance and commercial disputes. A strong advocate for policyholders, he focuses his practice on recovering insurance benefits for his clients from reluctant insurance companies, including securing payouts for professional athletes arising out of disability, loss-of-value and workers’ compensation insurance policies as well as event cancellation and production policies issued to production companies in the movie and music industries. He has represented both individual and institutional policyholders across the country in complex business disputes with insurers, and in that capacity, he has successfully secured hundreds of millions of dollars of defense and indemnity payments for clients under a variety of insurance lines.
