Background

About Eric Cheng

Having served as a trusted adviser to insurance carriers for many years, I enjoy in-depth knowledge of insurance company operations and I understand my clients’ need for strategic and proactive legal counsel. The “top of my game” is insurance coverage matters that arise out of professional liability and employment discrimination claims, as well as the underlying cases in these areas. I’ve handled many coverage matters related to the work of architects, engineers, surveyors and other design professionals, and I’ve defended architects and engineers in professional malpractice lawsuits and construction professionals in New York Labor Law litigation and premises liability matters. I’ve also counseled clients on the likelihood of exhaustion of primary coverage and analyzed their excess and umbrella coverage status. For the last ten years, I supervised a national architect and engineer claims/litigation administration program with an average of 500 cases per year, monitoring litigation nationwide through resolution, including participation in mediation, arbitration and trial, making reserves and settlement recommendations. A native of Hong Kong, China, I am fluent in Cantonese.
