Noah M. Kim

Noah Kim, resident of the firm’s California office, dedicates his legal practice exclusively to representing and advocating on behalf of commercial insurance policyholders. Noah joined SDV Fenchurch as an Associate after graduating from the firm’s Summer Associate program and then working as a Law Clerk.

While in law school, Noah acted as Staff Editor of both UC Irvine Law Review and UC Irvine Journal of International, Transnational, and Comparative Law. He was also an active member of the Asian Pacific American Student Law Association and performed pro bono work at the Veterans Legal Institute.

Noah enjoys weightlifting and boxing in his free time. He is multilingual and is fluent in Korean and conversational in Spanish.

While Noah has experience with both first-party and third-party policies, much of his practice focuses on complex builder’s risk claims. He has devoted significant time to analyzing “faulty workmanship” exclusions and other exclusions whose application depends on a nuanced understanding of both fact and law. Noah has experience in drafting dispositive motions, including motions for summary judgments and motions for judgment on the pleadings, and in the course of litigation, has assisted in developing high-level coverage strategies. Noah has taken and defended a number of depositions of various experts in connection with builder’s risk claims.

Of course, Noah is familiar with the importance and nuance of discovery (from opposing parties, third parties, and the client’s own productions) and has experience in analyzing voluminous information to inform litigation strategy and timeline.
