FKB's Michael Furman, Andrew Jones, and Andrew Kowlowitz, assisted by Joshua Abrams, Florence Lishansky, and Steven Hansen represent Lloyd's, which insured the City of New York in connection with certain clean-up activities occurring at various piers and barges throughout New York City and the surrounding area, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the polices.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Lloyd's has agreed to pay $27.5 million to settle claims of those plaintiffs who sued the City and Weeks Marine, Inc., for injuries they allegedly sustained during the rescue, recovery and debris removal operations following the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
