New York—October 31, 2025—Benchmark Litigation has ranked Cohen Ziffer Frenchman & McKenna as a national Tier 1 firm for insurance for the fourth consecutive year, reflecting the firm’s leadership and success representing policyholders in their most complex and high-stakes insurance disputes. Additionally, six partners—including all four founding partners—earned recognition as Litigation Stars and National Practice Area Stars, while chair Robin Cohen was once again named among Benchmark’s Top 100 Trial Lawyers.
In its profile on the firm, Benchmark notes that Cohen Ziffer’s “dedication to insurance recovery has culminated in more than $10 billion for policyholders, and its progress has not gone unnoticed by peers.” Cohen Ziffer’s continued recognition by Benchmark demonstrates the team’s position at the forefront of insurance recovery law.
Over the past year alone, the Cohen Ziffer team secured over a dozen victories that advanced policyholder rights and clarified coverage issues, including a Delaware Supreme Court decision that upheld a rare reversal of a pro-insurer jury verdict in a high-profile insurance coverage dispute between AIG Specialty Insurance Company and Conduent State Healthcare—the first jury verdict that Delaware Superior Court Judge Mary Johnston had reversed in nearly 20 years on the bench.
In another precedent-setting win, Cohen Ziffer secured a Delaware Superior Court ruling for AMC Entertainment Holdings finding that non-traditional forms of settlement payments may qualify as covered loss under insurance policies, unless the policy specifically states otherwise. And, in three consecutive matters over the span of less than three months, Cohen Ziffer obtained rulings compelling carriers to defend its clients Frontier Communications, Motive Technologies, and Precision Medicine Group in coverage disputes involving tens of millions of dollars. The firm’s attorneys are recognized as first-rate trial lawyers who have successfully resolved a host of complex commercial insurance disputes on behalf of organizations and individuals across the country.
