Steven E. Sigalow

Steve Sigalow is a leading insurance coverage lawyer, having recovered on behalf of corporate policyholders more than half a billion dollars in settlements and judgments. He has in-depth experience with the difficult issues arising under property/casualty and financial lines coverage forms, including CGL, excess/umbrella, property, D&O/management liability, E&O, and fiduciary liability. Steve has successfully litigated policyholder claims in state and federal courts throughout the country and has arbitrated claims in the U.S., the United Kingdom, and Bermuda.

Recently, Steve successfully led the litigation on behalf of Brush Wellman against its London insurers that established key principles of Ohio coverage law and, in a separate tort action for bad faith, challenged the formation, operation, and claims-handling practices of Equitas, the company established to handle the pre-1993 liabilities of underwriters at Lloyd's of London. Also recently, in one of the largest insurance coverage actions then pending, he successfully led the litigation on behalf of a major manufacturer against its domestic and foreign insurers recovering more than $100 million in excess of policy limits for claims arising out of the policyholder's consumer product recall. Steve also recently led the Firm's representation of Bridgestone Americas in major asbestos coverage litigation, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. in major D&O litigation, and DPL Inc. in a major arbitration against its fiduciary liability insurers. He currently leads, among other matters, major D&O arbitrations in London and Bermuda on behalf of The Southern Co.
