Boutique insurance recovery and entertainment firm Pasich LLP is pleased to announce that it is expanding its national platform and New York footprint with the addition of Peter A. Halprin, Esq., FCIArb, FAiADR. Halprin will serve as a partner.

Before joining Pasich LLP, Halprin was a shareholder in Anderson Kill P.C.’s New York office, where he focused on insurance recovery and served as deputy co-chair of the Cyber Insurance Recovery Practice.

“We’re delighted Peter is joining us,” said Kirk Pasich, the Firm’s managing partner. “I’ve been aware of Peter and his accomplishments for quite some time. He demonstrates a unique combination of substantive insurance knowledge and practical, deep arbitration skills, both of which are essential to best serving and advocating for clients with insurance issues.”

Halprin represents commercial insureds in complex insurance coverage matters, with a particular focus on recovery strategies in relation to captive insurance, cyber crime, natural disasters, professional services, regulatory investigations, and technology disputes. Over the course of his career, Halprin has arbitrated, litigated, and mediated claims involving a broad range of insurance policies and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in insurance proceeds for insureds. He advises clients under an array of forms and policies, including Boiler & Machinery, Builder’s Risk, Commercial Crime, Cyber, Directors & Officers, Employment Practices Liability, Errors & Omissions, Fidelity, General Liability, Kidnap & Ransom, Media Liability, Pollution Liability, Products Liability, Property, Technology E&O, Trade Credit, and Workers’ Compensation. Halprin also counsels U.S. and foreign companies in domestic and international arbitrations, including both ad hoc (ARIAS, Bermuda Form, London) and institutional (AAA, ICC, ICDR, JAMS, LCIA) arbitration forums. He has served as a party-appointed arbitrator and as sole arbitrator.

Halprin is a member of the AAA National Roster of Arbitrators. He has been recognized annually as a Super Lawyers New York Metro Rising Star for Insurance Coverage since 2013.

“This was a fantastic opportunity to get in on the ground level with a growing and esteemed insurance coverage boutique,” Halprin said. “Pasich LLP has a substantial international insurance practice with specialties in property and business interruption as well as political risk insurance. The Firm is frequently engaged in international arbitration and I am excited to continue building and growing the practice in New York and around the globe.”
