Robert D. Chesler is Chair of the Insurance Practice Group. He represents policyholders in a broad variety of coverage claims against their insurers, and advises companies with respect to their insurance programs. Originally, Mr. Chesler's practice concentrated on general liability insurance, and in particular, environmental and toxic tort insurance claims. More recently, he has represented and advised companies with respect to D&O and other executive liability claims. Presently, Mr. Chesler's practice is gravitating to cyber insurance - new policies for Internet and computer-based risks such as IP infringement, identity theft, lost data, and invasion of privacy.
Mr. Chesler is a frequent author and speaker on insurance topics. He chaired a seminar at the 2008 ABA insurance seminar on the new cyber-policies, and will chair this summer a similar program for the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education. He is co-authoring a treatise for West on IP and Cyber Insurance Law. Mr. Chesler is listed among The Best Lawyers in America in the environmental law section and was featured in the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 editions of New Jersey Super Lawyers in the area of insurance coverage. He is also listed in the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Chambers USA Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business.
