Marianne Bradley is a senior coverage litigator who represents major insurers and reinsurers nationwide, including primary and excess carriers. She provides strategic coverage advice and litigates complex insurance and reinsurance disputes in state and federal trial and appellate courts across the country. Her practice spans first- and third-party claims under directors and officers, professional liability, general liability, and errors and omissions policies.

In recent years, she has helped an insurance company prevail in a dispute with a construction company over the insurer’s responsibility to cover an agreement from a criminal action, and was part of a team that obtained a decision from a California appellate court ruling affirming a lower court’s finding for a fourth-layer excess insurer. Her work extends to state and federal trial appellate courts throughout the country, and she is experienced in crafting arguments involving complex legal issues.

Marianne brings a unique perspective and strong experience to her role, having worked as a compliance professional and adjuster with two major insurers before attending law school. During law school, she served as a judicial intern to the Honorable Marjorie O. Rendell of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Within the firm, she is a mentor to junior associates and a member of the Marketing Committee.
