The "Big Suits" section of the May edition of American Lawyer magazine includes a case successfully litigated by a team of Baker Hostetler attorneys.
In early February, Swiss Reinsurance America Corporation and North American Specialty Insurance Company, both part of the Swiss Re Group, the largest reinsurance company in the world, agreed to pay Cleveland-based KeyBank $279 million to settle a lawsuit in federal district court.
The matter, which was set for trial in April, involved more than six years of litigation in several forums. The Baker Hostetler team that acted as outside counsel for Key Bank was led by Dan Warren and included Cleveland partners Louis Colombo, Thomas Lucchesi, Thomas Warren, Terry Brennan and Megan Frient, and Cleveland associates Scott Holbrook, James Slater, Karl Fanter, Karin Scholz, and David Kitchen.
