Marc Ladd

Highly regarded for his depth of knowledge and ability to fully understand both the granular details and the big-picture perspectives of a case, Marc Ladd represents and advises large corporate policyholders across the country and around the world on their most significant insurance disputes. Marc draws on his extensive experience handling a wide range of insurance coverage disputes in federal and state courts and other venues. These cases involve first- and third-party property/casualty, insurance broker malpractice, asbestos-related matters, traditional and non-traditional environmental property damage, product liability, D&O and E&O liability, insurance proceeds for trustees in bankruptcy, business interruption, insurer bad faith and consumer protection, and contractor liability, among others. Throughout his career, Marc has secured landmark rulings for his policyholder clients. For instance, in one of the largest insurance actions to arise from Hurricane Sandy, Marc helped secure a New Jersey Supreme Court ruling that entitled New Jersey Transit (NJT) to its full $400 million policy limit. His win for NJT (which he argued at the New Jersey Appellate Division) was one of the first of its kind in the country regarding coverage for named windstorms, and helped a public entity get the coverage it needed for operation. On behalf of Pfizer, Marc has secured key victories in New York (where Marc argued before the Second Circuit) and Delaware, obtaining multiple rulings that the pharmaceutical company’s D&O insurers must cover millions of dollars Pfizer paid to settle a shareholder securities class action lawsuit. On the eve of oral argument on the insurer’s appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court, the matter was successfully settled for Pfizer. In another high-profile matter, Marc represented Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) against over 30 carriers in Delaware Bankruptcy Court, where PES was seeking $300 million in coverage resulting from the explosion at the Girard Point Refinery near Philadelphia in June 2019. The carriers settled PES’s claim three days into trial. Additionally, Marc has represented countless clients seeking to obtain the best possible coverage in the market for specialty insurance products, such as insurance for representations and warranties that typically is included with a company’s merger or acquisition, as well as drafting and negotiating policies for contingent risks, including litigation funder insurance and judgment preservation insurance. Marc brings to his practice vast experience in all phases of litigation, from coverage analysis and client counseling to pleadings, written discovery and depositions, motion practice, trial, and eventual settlement. He has received several accolades throughout his career, including recognition as a Leading Litigator by Lawdragon, Rising Star by Law360, Northeast Trailblazer by The American Lawyer, and Next Generation Partner by Legal 500.
