Biography
Nigel is a registered mediator and arbitrator, practicing New York and Georgia attorney, as well as a solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales and Trial Consultant. Nigel also has a significant insurance and reinsurance coverage background including federal and state coverage disputes, Bermuda Form, international, and domestic arbitration experience.
Nigel has been Head of Claims, and Head of Specialty Claims, as well as a senior partner at two Am Law 100 law firms. He has represented insurers, insureds, and related entities in federal and state courts, administrative and regulatory proceedings, and in international forums in over 50 countries.
Nigel has been the carrier`s representative in North America for mediations involving the highest exposure cases in all classes of business, including ECO and bad faith claims. His portfolio included complex claims (including class actions) arising out of the following lines: A&H, Agriculture/ Equine/Livestock, Aviation, Casualty (high limits and E&S), Commercial Property (including construction defect), Crisis Management (Product Recall, Crime, Active Shooter, and K&R), Cyber, D&O, E&O, Energy and Marine, Environmental, Financial Lines, Fine Art and Specie, Pharma, Professional Liability, Political Risk and Trade Credit and Surety, Workers Compensation disputes, insurer and (re)insurer disputes as well as subrogation claims.
These roles have given him a unique insight into the risk assessment and valuation of every type of insurance or reinsurance claim, which enables him to bring both credibility and impartiality to all parties in a mediation as well as a fundamental understanding of how complex cases are resolved. Nigel is retained by both plaintiff and defence lawyers to act as a mediator where they value his experience, impartiality and work ethic, all of which are dedicated to seeking a resolution to the subject dispute.
Nigel also lectures at Emory Law School on ADR, as an adjunct professor.
