Andrew has a history of representing corporate clients in sophisticated, complex, and sensitive matters in a wide variety of industries and disciplines. He has tried cases to verdict in Ohio, Florida, and California and has served as lead appellate counsel in the defense of a class certification denial. For the past 15 years, however, his focus has been in spearheading insurance recoveries for corporate policyholders in a variety of business sectors, under various state and international laws, and under a wide variety of insurance policies, including E&O policies, financial institution bonds (or crime policies), computer fraud and cyber policies, EPL policies, D&O policies, product recall policies, CGL policies, property, builder's risk, contractor's protective indemnity & rectification policies, stand-alone punitive damages policies, as well as title insurance and reinsurance treaties, and excess and umbrella policies. In that time, he has helped recover nearly $420 million for his clients. At the same time, Andrew continues to be called upon to defend major high-stakes matters, including defending publicly traded companies facing False Claims Act claims, a regulatory investigation, and hundreds of millions of alleged investor losses in Ponzi schemes.
