Retired Partner
With broad civil litigation experience in federal and state courts throughout the U.S., John Duchelle focused primarily on insurance coverage litigation and insurance coverage counseling. He also handled a variety of civil rights matters, personal injury cases, accounting and legal malpractice litigation, and commercial disputes. John had been particularly involved in representing directors and officers liability carriers in connection with merger-related litigation and in prosecuting rescission litigation arising out of many of the nation's most highly publicized accounting scandals. He developed a broad-based expertise in evaluating the cutting-edge rescission and coverage issues that such matters entailed. In Chambers USA 2007 one client praised John saying, "There seems to be no case that is too complex that he cannot analyze and simplify, leading to favorable resolution."
