"Superb, and 'an exceptional attorney for complex insurance matters.'"
Who's Who Legal 100 2013
David Newmann co-heads our Global Insurance Litigation group. Dave's experience runs the gamut. His cases include complex insurance coverage and "bad faith" litigation, consumer class actions, disputes under IT, manufacturing and distribution agreements, director & officer litigation, and bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings.
Dave's insurance practice reaches every corner of the market. He handles litigation and advises clients regarding directors and officers, cyber, crime/fidelity, M&A representation and warranty, commercial general liability, commercial property and personal lines policies. He manages exposures ranging from sprawling securities and M&A litigation to products liability and personal injury mass torts. He works with clients to write and revise insurance contracts, evaluate emerging risks, analyze existing coverage programs, and resolve insurance regulatory issues.
Dave was founding co-chair and is a member of Philly IDEAL, the diversity committee of Hogan Lovells Philadelphia, and serves on the firm's ethics committee. He is on the board of the Homeless Advocacy Project, and has been a HAP volunteer for more than 20 years. Prior to joining the firm in 1994, Dave was a law clerk to the Honorable John W. Reynolds of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
