Kyle brings a client‑centric approach to high‑stakes coverage matters, pairing detailed policy analysis with practical, business‑minded strategy designed to maximize his client’s return on investment.

Kyle’s practice is informed by a strong foundation in economics and insurance law. He studied econometrics and game theory in college before law school. In law school, he served as Managing Editor of the Connecticut Insurance Law Journal and graduated with a Certificate in Insurance Law and Regulation. Before joining the firm, Kyle represented businesses and high-net-worth individuals in complex business disputes. He litigated cases against large, nationally recognized law firms—experience that sharpened his ability to manage sophisticated litigation and effectively advocate in high-stakes situations.

Over his career, he has helped policyholders recover more than $70,000,000 from their insurance carriers.

Kyle’s work for corporate policyholders and publicly traded companies is grounded in the reality that insurance is both a risk-management tool and a financial asset. He believes that the key to maximizing an insurance recovery often requires early intervention, disciplined documentation, and a well-developed coverage strategy.
