Representative Matters

Global Insurance Broker—Third circuit appellate win

Represented a global insurance broker in a multi-million dollar lender-placed insurance class action in federal court. The United States District Court for the District of New Jersey dismissed the action on the grounds that the filed-rate doctrine barred the plaintiffs’ claims. On appeal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, addressing an issue of first impression in that court, affirmed the trial court’s ruling by a unanimous published decision.

New Jersey Supreme Court—Amicus curiae

Represented an industry organization appearing as amicus curiae before the New Jersey Supreme Court in an appeal of a mortgage foreclosure action where the borrower argued that, under a provision of New Jersey's Uniform Commercial Code, the assignee of the mortgage could not foreclose because the original note had been lost prior to the assignment. Addressing an issue that had divided courts in other jurisdictions, the New Jersey Supreme Court unanimously adopted the position advanced in the amicus brief, holding that, notwithstanding the loss of the note, the assignee could bring the foreclosure action consistent with New Jersey statutes and common-law principles governing the assignment of mortgages.

Construction company—Third circuit appellate win

Successfully defended a construction company against various claims, including violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, breach of contract, theft, and unjust enrichment on grounds of preclusion. The District Court granted our motion to dismiss and the decision was affirmed by the Third Circuit.
