Experience

Secured a substantial insurance recovery for one of the world’s largest seafood providers, which involved thefts of millions of dollars’ worth of fish by an employee and coverage under both a marine insurance policy and an employee dishonesty policy. Both insurers denied coverage on the ground that the transactions were merely sales for which the company did not receive payment. The marine insurer also asserted that there was no “barratry” because the employee was land-based, and that the company had violated the doctrine of “utmost good faith” by failing to disclose certain legal rulings.
