Bryce Friedman and Daniel Feder Author NYLJ Article on Retroactive Insurance Coverage for COVID-19 Losses

05.17.21

Litigation Partner Bryce Friedman and Associate Daniel Feder authored an article published by the New York Law Journal titled, “Retroactive Insurance Coverage for COVID-19 Losses.” Early on in the pandemic, the New York Legislature considered a bill which would have retroactively rewritten commercial insurance policies to provide coverage to businesses interrupted by the spread of COVID-19 and government attempts to curtail it.
