David has extensive experience representing clients regarding insurance issues arising from securities and shareholder lawsuits. This includes leveraging insurance assets to assist clients in settling underlying disputes. For example, David was instrumental in helping to resolve complex claims against a corporation and its officers alleging losses arising from an options backdating scandal, convincing the insurers to contribute substantial coverage limits to resolve shareholder derivative and class action lawsuits, including coverage under Side A policies. In addition, David assisted another client in obtaining coverage for claims arising from alleged malfeasance by the company’s executive officers, including the CEO convicted of fraud.  

In addition, David represents clients with regard to claims under cyber liability and data breach insurance coverages; claims under fidelity bonds; claims involving first party property damage and business interruption losses (including losses arising from the COVID-19 pandemic); claims under mortgage insurance policies; and claims involving breaches of fiduciary duties, interference with contract and prospective economic advantage, products liability, environmental liabilities, employee theft, computer crime, mortgage fraud, and wrongful termination, among other things.  

David also handles complex litigation outside the insurance recovery area, including commercial contract disputes and disputes regarding indemnification issues. David has a very active pro bono practice, specializing in matters related to criminal justice.
