A sizeable chunk of Pasich LLP’s recovery team made the move to McGuireWoods LLP in the summer of 2024, with Kirk Pasich and Shaun Crosner joining Anthony P. Tatum as practice co-chairs. The team, who notably secured a significant win before the Vermont Supreme Court for Huntington Ingalls regarding their COVID-19 business interruption claims, exclusively represents policyholders in pursuit of recovery across all main commercial lines of insurance, and is regularly instructed to handle disputes connected to natural disasters, data breaches, and cyber security incidents, often communing with the firm’s London office to handle Bermuda Form arbitrations. Supporting the trio of leaders is a nationwide team that includes Atlanta-based veteran litigator Shelby S. Guilbert, who is well-versed in Bermuda and London markets, and acts for manufacturers, financial institutions, and healthcare providers in a spectrum of coverage disputes, New York-based litigator Stephen G. Foresta, Los Angeles-based Michael S. Ghert is notably busy with property and business interruption actions, as well as political risk. Joseph M. Englert handles a variety of complex disputes from the Atlanta office, and, also in Georgia, Nicholas G Hill guides various clients through contentious and non-contentious coverage issues. In LA, Craig Hirsch’s practice runs the gamut, and Christopher T Pasich handles crime and cyber claims alongside a wide range of first and third-party loss matters. Aaron F Jaroff is a key contact for clients in the financial services sector in NYC, and working between the East and West coasts, Mikaela Whitman is another cornerstone of the practice.
