New York

Lord Bissell & Brook LLP’s New York office focuses on our core strengths: insurance regulatory and transaction work, both domestic and international, commercial litigation, insurance coverage litigation and capital markets transactions.

In insurance regulatory and transaction work, the New York office has represented insurers and reinsurers in licensing, market conduct examinations, insurance product development and transactional opportunities.  One of our New York partners was recently retained to advise the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico on statutory and regulatory changes to make Puerto Rico more attractive as an offshore insurance center.

In commercial litigation, our New York attorneys have a broad range of experience litigating in federal and state courts in New York and in international and domestic arbitration, including reinsurance arbitrations, and have often served as arbitrators themselves.  Building on our familiarity and experience with insurance products of all kinds, the New York office has extensive experience in complex insurance coverage litigation.

The New York office has a full-service capital markets practice with particular experience in financial derivatives, structured finance, loan syndications and secondary market debt transactions.
