Covering Appeals

Leveraging Appellate Court Developments in Insurance Coverage Cases

About Us

I am a partner in Robinson+Cole’s Insurance Appeals team. I have a national insurance appellate practice and have been involved in over 150 appeals, including appeals in every regional federal circuit, as well as in state supreme and/or appellate courts in 16 states, and the U.S. Supreme Court. I regularly represent national and local insurance industry associations as amici curiae in appellate and supreme courts and have been involved in many of the most significant insurance coverage-related appeals over the last twenty years. I am a former chair of the Appellate Section of the Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel (FDCC) and served on the pro bono panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. I also chair the firm’s Professional Development Committee. Read more about Wystan.

I am counsel in Robinson+Cole’s Appellate group. Having worked on more than a hundred appeals, I have guided clients to victories spanning the U.S. Courts of Appeals as well as state supreme and appellate courts. My practice centers on complex appellate matters, including high-stakes coverage disputes, regulatory issues with major implications for the industry, and claims with the potential to drastically alter insurers’ exposure across a broad swath of cases. I collaborate closely with clients and trial counsel to craft effective appellate strategies, ensuring that key arguments are well-framed, preserved, and positioned for success, with an eye toward building the law across cases.

I am an associate in Robinson+Cole’s Insurance + Reinsurance group. My practice primarily centers on first party property insurance coverage disputes, extra-contractual litigation, appeals and the defense of class actions. I have assisted in the defense of Covid-19 coverage matters both at the trial and appellate level in state and federal courts and participated in the defense of putative class actions involving commercial insurance policies. I have experience litigating matters across the federal and state courts of Connecticut from the pre-suit stage up through and including mediation. I am Treasurer of the Connecticut Bar Association, Insurance Section, and in 2024, I received Robinson+Cole’s Pro Bono Award for my commitment to pro bono representation. Read more about Ray.
