The cross-disciplinary team at Mayer Brown is particularly well-versed in class action defense, notably handling putative class actions stemming from COVID-19 coverage claims. Clients are served by a professionally diverse team, including LA-based co-head Bronwyn Pollock , who acts for insurers and reinsurers in policyholder actions, and other co-heads David Alberts and Stephen Rooney , who are basaed in the New York office. Also in New York is Joseph De Simone , who is best known for litigating securities class actions and is a key point of contact for multinational insurers. In Los Angeles, Mitchell Hendy litigates a variety of coverage and class actions involving multiple jurisdictions, and Douglas Smith handles trial and appellate work including putative class actions connected to COVID-19 loss claims.
