Thomas J. Judge
Member
Tom Judge serves many roles for the insurance carriers he represents—a best-in-class courtroom advocate, seasoned risk assessor, and shrewd negotiator. He advises on various lines, but the cases on his desk are typically professional liability matters involving complex insurance coverage and bad faith actions, each with millions of dollars of potential exposure.
These often complex disputes include claims demanding millions of dollars against corporate officers and directors, financial institutions, investment advisors, hedge funds, healthcare companies, information technology providers, accountants, insurance brokers, real estate agents, and other attorneys. The professional liability allegations against them are highly sensitive, requiring Tom’s careful analysis and planning to achieve the best possible outcomes.
“I’m dogged in my approach, and I have to be. Too much is on the line for my clients for me to be anything other than unwavering in my focus on obtaining the best result.”
