Andy Frankel and Summer Craig authored the United States chapter in the seventh edition of Lexology In Depth: Insurance Disputes (formerly The Insurance Disputes Law Review). The chapter provides insights into significant insurance-related issues in U.S. courts, including equitable reimbursement of defense costs, the application of a ‘bump-up’ exclusion in a D&O liability insurance policy, an insurer’s right to intervene in a policyholder’s bankruptcy proceeding, and the availability of coverage for computer system failure under a cyber risk insurance policy.

Andy was profiled by Law360 as an Insurance “MVP” for 2024. Law360 highlighted Andy’s successes “represent[ing] insurers in complex coverage disputes over mass tort litigation, including a PFAS case, talc injury claims against Johnson & Johnson and thorny receivership issues in South Carolina asbestos litigation” among the reasons for his selection.

Summer Craig was recently elevated to Partner, effective January 1, 2025.
