Of Anderson Kill's nationally-recognized insurance recovery group co-chairs, Chambers noted the following:
Robert Horkovich is a deeply respected policyholder attorney with experience in some of the market's most prominent cases. Clients describe him as "a true believer in the rights of corporate policyholders who has made it his life's mission to protect those interests." He is known among commentators to be "very passionate, focused and persuasive in his arguments." Another source reports that "his demeanor and skills are as impressive as his results. I get calls from sitting judges complimenting his conscientiousness and the clarity of his reasoning and arguments."
William Passannante has "extensive knowledge about insurance coverage in all lines of business," according to his clients. Particular strengths include D&O, E&O, asbestos and environmental coverage. One client described him as "knowledgeable, responsive and everything you want in an outside counsel."
And of executive committee member Finley Harckham, Chambers notes that commentators are "very impressed with his insight, ability to explain and effectiveness."
In the New Jersey office, clients say Robert Chesler “does a great job. He has great skills and the correct gravitas to get things done” and client’s appreciate that Steve Pudell “is one of those people that is a one-stop shop. There is nothing that he can’t do.”
