Position
John Curley is an important member of Hoguet Newman Regal & Kenney’s insurance recovery team. Among other recent successes, he was part of the HNRK team that represented Syngenta in its successful effort to recover insurance coverage for a products liability class action related to one of Syngenta’s herbicides. He is also a member of the team representing Syngenta in current litigation seeking coverage for hundreds of tort lawsuits alleging harm arising from exposure to a different herbicide, and he was on the trial team that secured a win for Syngenta over its primary insurer, Zurich American Insurance Company.
John advises companies and individuals on various insurance issues. Recent work includes representing a personnel staffing company and its captive reinsurer in litigation with an insurer related to alleged collateral requirements under a reinsurance agreement. He recently represented a construction company in litigation against its insurance broker. He also advises individuals with respect to insurance coverage questions, including on issues related to professional liability insurance.
Outside of his insurance practice, he focuses on securities litigation and complex business disputes. Recent examples include representing an e-commerce company in several M&A-related disputes involving alleged breaches of representations and warranties, an investment banking firm in a commercial dispute, a closely-held company in a shareholder dispute with one of its founders, and an individual in a trade secrets litigation. He also represents clients in securities-related civil litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings, including investigations by FINRA and the SEC.
John has been recognized as a Litigation Trailblazer by The National Law Journal (2022), on Benchmark Litigation’s 40 & Under List and Future Star List since 2021, and as a New York Metro Super Lawyer since 2017.
