Cohen Ziffer Frenchman & McKenna

Cohen Ziffer Frenchman & McKenna LLP is built on the reputations and experience of nationally recognized lawyers who have represented policyholders as a unified team for 20+ years, recovering billions of dollars for clients and securing landmark judicial rulings. The group has a national reputation as fierce advocates for policyholders in high-profile, high-dollar disputes against insurance companies, representing a client base of Fortune 500 companies, hedge funds, and private equity firms.

Cohen Ziffer has secured landmark wins in closely watched cases, including a first-of-its-kind appellate ruling that unlocked $400 million for New Jersey Transit after Superstorm Sandy, a precedent-setting $500 million asbestos coverage ruling, and significant decisions on email spoofing, SPAC coverage, and D&O and E&O insurance — consistently shifting the landscape in favor of policyholders.

 Since the firm’s founding in 2021, the team has tripled in size to over 30 lawyers, who are consistently at the center of precedent-setting cases across the country. Among other matters described in detail throughout the submission, corporate policyholders are often turning to the team to guide them on complex D&O cases in the highest-stakes securities matters, and the firm is leading the charge in pursuing coverage for opioid-related losses on behalf of some of the nation’s largest retailers.
