Anne believes that expertise, tenacity, and sheer grit are the minimum requirements of being an attorney. Most important, though, good lawyers put their egos aside, listen to their client, figure out what “success” looks like to them, and make the client look good within their organization. Anne has dedicated her career to doing just that.
Anne M. Murray counsels insurance companies on complex first- and third-party claims, including general liability, construction defect, personal and advertising injury, toxic tort, asbestos, environmental, product liability, employee benefits liability, labor law, bad faith, and other emerging issues.
Anne wrote the chapter on environmental and toxic tort insurance coverage issues for New Appleman Law of Liability Insurance, one of the country’s leading insurance law treatises.
A frequent speaker on insurance coverage issues, Anne has given seminars for the New York State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and national and international insurance and reinsurance companies. In 2018, Anne presented a CLE program on construction site accident claims and litigation before the New York State Bar Association. In 2017, she served as a member of a panel on emerging allocation issues at the ABA Insurance Section: Insurance Coverage Litigation Committee’s annual meeting.
Anne currently serves as co-chair of Rivkin Radler’s Women’s Initiative Committee, Leadership Initiative Committee, and Attorney Development Committee.
