Alongside other members of the leadership team, Andy spearheads initiatives to enhance the firm’s competitiveness and positioning for the firm’s growth across geographical regions and practice groups.

Under his leadership, the firm has experienced remarkable expansion, marked by the establishment of two new offices and the recruitment of several strategic lateral partners.

Speaking Engagements

Cases and Experience

Obtained affirmation of a summary judgment award in favor of the client in a case of first impression before the New Jersey Appellate Division on June 21, 2017 in Abboud v. Nat’l Union Fire Ins. Co., 450 N.J. Super. 400 (App. Div. 2017).

Obtained a favorable unanimous decision before the New Jersey Supreme Court on February 11, 2016, in the matter of Templo Fuente De Vida Corp. v. Nat’l Union Fire Ins. Co., 224 N.J. 189 (2016), that effectively broadened the scope of application of the “as soon as practicable” claim reporting requirement of a “claims made” D&O policy to reach instances where a claim is first made during the policy period but is nevertheless properly disclaimed by the carrier, without the carrier having to demonstrate appreciable prejudice, because the insured failed to provide notice of the claim “as soon as practicable."

Successfully defended a landlord in litigation resulting from the breach of a commercial lease by prevailing on cross-motions for summary judgment which lead to the dismissal of plaintiff/tenant’s complaint against the landlord in whole, while also simultaneously obtaining favorable judgment on the landlord’s counter-claim for breach of lease against plaintiff/tenant.

Obtained dismissal of more than $1 million in malpractice claims against a New Jersey-based insurance agent in a summary judgment decision issued on July 24, 2012 in Essex County Superior Court.

Prior results cannot and do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome with respect to any future matter that we or any lawyer may be retained to handle.
