Good Morning Ty,

I hope this email finds you doing well and not working too hard. I wanted to share with you some feedback we received from the client about the above job:
The case has settled “thanks to the excellent work of Mr. Sagalow”.

I wanted to thank you for being a pleasure to work with on this short project; I enjoyed our brief conversations and your wit and humor. I hope you work with IMS on projects in the future so that we can work together again. Have a great weekend!

September 22, 2017
The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York found that AXIS Insurance Company was not liable under a directors and officers insurance policy for $20 million in losses alleged by its insured, PATRIARCH PARTNERS, LLC, on the basis on the application of the policy’s “pending and prior claim” exclusion accepting arguments made by the carrier’s expert witness, Ty Sagalow.
In his report, Mr. Sagalow argued that the policy’s pending and prior claim exclusion applied because under the facts of this case a SEC subpoena issued following the institution of a SEC Formal Investigation was both a “demand” and and “order”within the meaning of the exclusion and the policy’s definition of Claim. Accepting Mr. Sagalow’s expert opinion, the Court concluded “Analyzed separately or collectively, the Topbas Subpoena, the Formal Order of Investigation, and the SEC’s underlying investigation of Patriarch constitute a “Claim” against an Insured that was pending before August 11, 2011.” (Decision at p. 9)

For almost 25 years, I have worked closely with Ty. First as a colleague at AIG and Zurich, and currently as a client of Innovation Insurance Group. Put simply, Ty is the best product development expert in the commercial insurance industry.
In addition to being a fine lawyer, he is also, in my opinion, one of the foremost experts in D&O insurance as well as network security insurance, which he largely invented as a product.
At AIG, Ty and I worked together on many high profile D&O deals. When I was President of AIG Small Business, I hired Ty and his team to develop our new products. When I moved to Zurich, I recommended Ty for the new company position of Chief Innovation Officer and today, as President of Navigators Management Company, we have hired Innovation Insurance Group to help with our new product needs in the management and professional liability space. Ty is one of a kind.

I have had the good fortune to know Ty for over 30 years, first as an insurance carrier executive with whom I have done business and now as a trusted consultant to the Newman Team at Aon plc. He is, in my opinion, the top product development person in the industry. He has the unique ability to take new ideas, whether from a carrier, a broker or a client, and turn them into actual insurance products and solutions in a very quick, efficient and cost effective manner.
One of Ty’s greatest attributes is his ability to listen to a client, understand their needs and address that need with an innovative solution.
I can strongly recommend Ty to any person or company, of whatever size or industry, who is looking for unique insurance solutions to their needs or for the needs of their customers.
