Wrongful Death
Tort Claimants Committee and Future Claimants Representative in Cyprus Mines. Anderson Kill was approved by the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to serve as special insurance counsel to the Tort Claimants Committee and the Future Claimants’ Representative in the Cyprus Mines case, effective March 25, 2021. Cyprus Mines provided talc to Johnson & Johnson and others, and its bankruptcy proceeding is impacted by those of J&J subsidiaries. Holders of claims for personal injury or wrongful death arising from exposure to talc or talc-containing products constitute the largest creditor constituency in the Cyprus Mines Chapter 11 case, which stems from the company’s provision of talc to Johnson & Johnson. Potentially over $1.6 billion in insurance assets stand to be recovered and transferred to the trust to cover claims from those with mesothelioma or ovarian cancer caused by exposure to asbestos-bearing talc products. Anderson Kill is working to transfer those insurance assets to the Trust and to mediate before Ken Feinberg and Tim Gallagher with an insurance company interested in settling its dispute before litigation by the ensuing trust.
Fraud
Robbery
Lead counsel and investigator in the federal prosecution of over 20 members of a national drug robbery ring. The ring specialized in posing as police officers to kidnap, torture and rob drug traffickers. Successfully prosecuted an NYPD Officer for conspiring with the ring.
Theft
Murder
Investigated and tried 2 men who tortured and murdered a family of 5, including a 13-year-old boy. Their back-to-back trials, lasting 3 months each, resulted in murder convictions.
Homicide
Arson
Family Dollar Stores of Wisconsin. Anderson Kill represents Family Dollar Stores of Wisconsin in a lawsuit filed in August 2020 in Milwaukee County Circuit Court, involving liability for the cost of rebuilding a store that was destroyed as a result of arson. Family Dollar seeks a declaratory judgment finding that Family Dollar and the property’s owner are entitled to insurance coverage for the destroyed property, as well as a finding of bad faith claims handling due to the insurance towers’ failure to issue any coverage determination prior to the lawsuit being filed. The policyholder/plaintiff has successfully opposed a motion to bifurcate the coverage and bad faith portions of the case, and as such, Family Dollar will be able to pursue bad faith damages as well as a declaration of coverage for the destroyed property.
Money Laundering
Represented foreign bank in $5m commercial litigation with criminal money laundering implications in federal court-settled matter without liability finding against client.

Our specific experience providing legal services to companies in the hospitality industry ranges from the routine — such as negotiating construction contracts — to the extraordinary — such as litigating a multi-million-dollar insurance coverage case arising out of severe hurricane damage to an international resort and acting as insurance counsel to the world’s largest chain of casual dining restaurants.

We also handle restructurings, reorganizations and workouts, and provide risk management analysis. Dispute resolution services include advice about how to avoid litigation.

Personal Injury
Anderson Kill assisted the Bridge Street Development Corporation in resolving a coverage dispute that arose when Bridge Street’s liability insurance company responded to an insurance claim by disclaiming coverage and suing its not-for-profit customer. Bridge Street is a Brooklyn-based not-for-profit organization providing civic and economic opportunities to the residents of Central Brooklyn, often by building low-income housing. Its insurance company denied liability insurance coverage for a personal injury suit based on late notice and other grounds; following AK’s involvement, the insurance company agreed to pay defense costs and contribute to a settlement.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
We assist and advise executors and administrators on all aspects of estate administration which we recognize can be a complex and even alien process. This includes shepherding clients though the probate and administration process, preparing estate tax and fiduciary income tax returns, and the completing of the judicial or non-judicial settlement of the executor’s account of proceedings. When requested, we assist with the fiduciary’s debt-paying obligations, marshaling and valuing the decedent’s assets, the distribution of such assets pursuant to the decedent’s estate plan or to the laws of intestacy, and with all other aspects of estate administration. Advising trustees, including individuals, banks, and trust companies, on the varied tasks involved in administering trusts is another central component to our practice. At times, due to family circumstances, our attorneys are asked to serve as executors or trustees in clients’ estate plans.
