Fred Giordano focuses his practice on insurance coverage litigation and counseling and complex civil and commercial litigation.
Mr. Giordano’s insurance coverage practice is limited to representing policyholders. On the front side, he helps clients assess their risks and evaluate potential insurance coverage before claims even arise. He reviews insurance policies and programs and advises clients regarding the scope of their existing coverage and implementing potential improvements. He works closely with a policyholder’s insurance broker, as appropriate, and has helped draft custom policy language. When claims do arise, Mr. Giordano helps clients maximize their insurance recovery by negotiating, mediating, or litigating as necessary. Recognizing that unnecessary legal expenses can drain a company’s resources, Mr. Giordano carefully assesses his clients’ claims at the inception of matters and recommends whether or not they should pursue their claims before embarking on cases. Once engaged, Mr. Giordano collaborates with his clients and seeks the best and most efficient results for their businesses. Often, such results can be achieved through negotiation, but Mr. Giordano litigates to protect his clients’ rights and interests when insurers are unwilling to resolve claims fairly and equitably.
