Kurt Mullen is a commercial litigator with more than 15 years of experience in insurance-related litigation. He represents insurance companies and other financial services institutions, state insurance guaranty funds and a variety of medium- and large-sized businesses.
I represent a variety of medium- and large-sized businesses in commercial disputes. This includes work in various courts across the Northeast, as well as in arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
Insurance coverage issues—especially related to catastrophic losses, additional insured issues and bad faith claims—have been on the rise over the last several years. I devote a large part of my practice to counseling and representing clients in connection with these and other insurance coverage issues. And there continues to be significant litigation over the interpretation of state insurance guaranty association statutes and the extent to which general insurance law applies to these entities.
I have argued in all levels of the Massachusetts appellate courts and the Connecticut Supreme Court, and have worked on appellate briefs in cases across New England and New Jersey.
I also provide second opinions to clients who have received adverse rulings or judgments on the strength of their appellate agents.
Increased data breaches and related state and federal regulatory changes have the potential to result in insurance coverage litigation, especially as the cyber insurance market continues to develop and mature.
