  • Biography

    The issues on which clients seek Aaron’s guidance include coverage for nuclear verdicts, high-profile latent injury risks (such as alleged construction defects at some of the country’s most expensive construction projects and child sexual abuse matters), and claims involving exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Aaron also has experience addressing coverage for alleged violations of privacy statutes, including Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) and similar statutes in other jurisdictions, and has presented to insurers about the intersection between insurance and emerging risks, including PFAS, climate change, and artificial intelligence.

    Most recently, Aaron has worked in-house at QBE North America. There, as an AVP, Assistant General Counsel, Aaron managed outside coverage counsel and oversaw the prosecution and defense of insurance coverage litigation. He also advised C-suite executives, senior management, and internal claim professionals on diverse legal issues impacting multiple lines of business and assisted with risk assessment and the development of claim resolution strategies.

    Before QBE North America, Aaron worked at an international law firm, where he provided pre-litigation counseling to insurers and represented their interests in coverage litigation. Aaron specifically developed litigation strategy, coordinated discovery, and drafted dispositive motions, along with negotiating and drafting settlement agreements.
