Joe Bermudez Esq

CRISIS MANAGEMENT Joe has extensive experience in global and domestic crisis management events. He has assisted clients with matters ranging from international, multimillion-dollar catastrophes to smaller local crises. He also assists clients with expanding coverages for crisis management events as risks continue to become more specialized and losses are not covered under standard insurance portfolios. Joe undertakes commitments to create, develop and modify wordings to enhance coverages under various policy types. In addition, he has successfully managed crises under specialty, property and liability policies. As the risk environment has become more challenging with regulatory changes and condensed time requirements, Joe has worked with underwriters, brokers, claims professionals and crisis management companies to effectively handle, manage and resolve crises events. INSURANCE COVERAGE Joe regularly represents foreign and domestic insurance companies and underwriters with regard to issues involving policy drafting, complex insurance coverage and reinsurance. He has represented and counseled clients in connection with first-party, third-party and specialty coverage matters involving advertising liability; bad faith; business interruption; contingent business interruption; commercial general liability; construction defects; cyber and data breaches; directors’ and officers’ liability; employment practices; environmental; excess and surplus lines; financial institutions; fracing; intellectual property; kidnap, ransom and extortion; non-profit organizations; piracy; political risk; professional liability; product contamination; product liability; product recall; property; punitive damages; reinsurance; reputational risk; toxic torts; and trade and supply chain disruptions. Joe has litigated matters in federal and state courts throughout the U.S. and represents clients in international arbitrations, mediations and alternative dispute resolution proceedings.
