Jordan Stanzler has extensive experience in the preparation and trial of complex cases. For the last eight years Mr. Stanzler has concentrated in representing policyholders in insurance coverage litigation and bad faith claims against insurance companies. During that time he has obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in insurance recoveries on behalf of major corporations. Mr. Stanzler has recently represented Hoechst Celanese Corporation before the Delaware Supreme Court, where he argued two successful appeals on key insurance issues for a nationwide class action involving polybutelene plumbing claims, which total more than $1 billion. Mr. Stanzler also represented Allied-Signal in what the Wall Street Journal hailed as the first major settlement of an environmental insurance coverage case. Mr. Stanzler has also lectured and written extensively on the subject of insurance recovery, insurance company bad faith and is co-author of a new treatise, INSURANCE COVERAGE LITIGATION (John Wiley, 1997).

From 1982-86 Mr. Stanzler was an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York and Chief of its Tax Unit in 1987-88. He successfully prosecuted civil and criminal tax fraud cases, including the largest tax fraud case involving government securities.
