Honigman Welcomes Insurance Recovery Attorneys Evan Knott and Lauren Gubricky to Chicago Office
CHICAGO – Honigman LLP announced today that Evan Knott joined its Chicago office as a partner in the Litigation Department. Knott, who spent nearly two decades at Reed Smith, is the second Reed Smith partner to move his insurance and reinsurance recovery practice to Honigman, following Partner Noel Paul’s recent move. Knott and Paul will be joined by Associate Lauren Gubricky, who also arrives today from Reed Smith.
Knott represents corporate policyholders and insureds in complex insurance coverage disputes and litigation. Working with clients on a national basis, Knott brings extensive experience litigating coverage disputes for claims involving mass tort and environmental liability, product liability, director and officer liability, professional liability, consumer class actions, employer liability, and commercial property and business interruption losses. He has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in insurance assets for those clients.
“Evan is a sought-after litigator in Illinois. His extensive experience will enhance the exceptional rigor and aptitude of our insurance and insurance recovery practice” said J. Michael Huget, chair of Honigman’s Litigation Department. “On the heels of Noel Paul, we’re pleased to add Evan’s skillset – as well as that of Lauren Gubricky – to our growing litigation practice. This trio’s strengths will be a strong complement to our firm’s strategic growth aspirations.”
Over his career, Evan has represented clients ranging from Fortune 50 corporations to mid-market privately-held businesses, including animal agricultural producers, “big box” retailers, commercial real estate developers and management companies, hedge funds, manufacturers of heavy trucks and agricultural equipment, manufacturers of plumbing products, marine dredging companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, private equity firms, regional oil refineries, scrap metal dealers, and solid waste landfill operators.
Knott earned his J.D. from the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law and his B.A. from the University of Michigan.
Gubricky was an associate at Reed Smith for more than four years, where she represented corporate policyholders in state and federal court as they navigated high-stakes coverage and bad faith litigation. She earned her J.D. from DePaul University College of Law and her B.A. from Lake Forest College.
