Ken was a founding member of Rubin, Fiorella, Friedman & Mercante, LLP and was the leader of the firm’s Litigation, Insurance Coverage and Insurance Defense departments. After merging operations with Gallo Vitucci Klar LLP, Ken assumed the leadership of the firm’s Coverage Department, an area where he has concentrated his practice over the last several years.
Ken has developed a specialty practice in the handling and pursuit of additional insured coverage claims, as well as complex coverage issues under General Liability and related policy forms. Over the past 10 plus years, Ken has recovered several millions of dollars of past legal fees that were abandoned or thought to be unrecoverable, as well as primary additional insured coverage in excess of $50m. Ken’s clients include commercial insurers and self-insured entities. He has worked closely with clients to establish game plans to reduce the legal and indemnity expenses in complex cases, taking a practical and strategic approach to resolution of claims. Ken’s prior experience includes the direct handling of defense of Labor Law, Premises Liability and Auto claims, which provides a strong background to properly evaluate how coverage positions can impact the exposure in cases and how to achieve best overall results for his clients.
Ken lives in Katonah, New York, with his wife, Ellen, who recently retired as a speech pathologist in the Scarsdale School District. They both enjoy spending time with their children and grandchildren and at their second home in Lake Placid, New York.
