Brett’s practice primarily involves contractual and commercial litigation matters arising in state and federal court and in domestic and international arbitrations. He seasons his practice by consulting with clients on day-to-day and strategic business transactions.
Supporting a broad range of policyholder clients, including some of the nation’s largest corporations and industrial concerns, mid-cap and small business entities and individuals, Brett has helped secure billions of dollars in insurance assets judgment and settlement. His coverage experience includes analyses of general liability, professional liability, directors and officers liability, errors and omissions, construction Owner-Controlled Insurance Program and Contractor-Controlled Insurance Program wrap-ups, builders risk policies, crime and cyber liability policies, and fidelity bonds.
Brett also counsels clients on pre-litigation, litigation and alternative dispute resolution options, guides policyholders on the structuring of their insurance programs, and helps negotiate the terms of new and renewal policies to ensure favorable terms that benefit clients in the event of a claim. He also has advised clients on Food and Drug Administration and Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory issues.
Brett has served as pro bono counsel for several clients seeking expungement of criminal records, all successful. Additionally, he has acted as pro bono counsel in a pension case before an administrative law judge during a multi-day plenary hearing and subsequent appellate proceedings before the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division.
