July 6, 2011 -- Law360
Our representation of Lazare Kaplan International is noted in this article, which reports LKI's settlement with American and British insurance carriers. According to LKI's mandatory 8K filing, the $32 million is on top of the approximately $28 million that Herrick obtained for LKI from insurers prior to commencement of the lawsuits, thus bringing the total recovery to more than $60 million for losses stemming from the theft of LKI's diamonds. The story names Chris Sullivan and Jason D'Angelo as counsel to LKI.

This story notes our representation of Lazare Kaplan International in an insurance coverage litigation, in which LKI is suing for coverage over the disappearance of $135 million worth of diamonds. Despite having directed LKI and the insurance carriers to file motions for summary judgment, a federal court judge denied those motions as premature, but the judge generally adopted our view of the case, which was brought by Christopher Sullivan and Jason D'Angelo.
