Career

Geoff helps corporate policyholders maximize the value of their insurance assets. As leader of the Boston insurance coverage practice, he dedicates his practice to advising policyholders and their directors and officers in sophisticated insurance coverage matters, from placement of complex insurance programs and policy reviews to claim advocacy through arbitration, litigation, trials, and appeals. He is a prolific thought leader, particularly in the area of directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance, and frequently publishes, speaks, gives interviews, and serves on editorial boards to monitor and report on cutting-edge insurance topics. He has helped clients recover hundreds of millions of dollars in policy proceeds from insurers.

Although valued by clients for his extensive experience in the area of D&O and management liability insurance, Geoff regularly assists policyholders in a wide range of insurance coverage disputes involving errors and omission (E&O), cybersecurity and data breaches, government investigations, representations and warranties, employee theft and fidelity claims, breach of fiduciary duty, environmental liabilities, business interruption, and property damage, including recovery for COVID-19-related losses.

He has particular experience advising private equity firms, portfolio companies, mutual funds, banks, and other companies in the financial sector. He works closely with in-house counsel and risk managers on insurance issues arising from corporate transactions, including structuring indemnity and insurance obligations, ensuring continuity of D&O and other critical coverages following asset sales, acquisitions, or other changes in control, and performing due diligence reviews.
