Iain A.W. Nasatir

Iain A.W. Nasatir, resident in the firm’s Los Angeles office, specializes in and has cultivated a national reputation for his expertise in insurance coverage, reinsurance, insolvency, regulatory and bankruptcy disputes. Currently, he is involved with insurance coverage issues in the firm’s various representations of creditors’ committees and is the in-house go-to counsel for all insurance-related issues as they relate to sexual abuse survivors in chapter 11 bankruptcies, including the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, the Diocese of Buffalo, the Diocese of Rochester, the Roman Catholic Church of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, and the Roman Catholic Church of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. Prior committee representations sought his counsel in sexual-abuse insurance-coverage issues, including the bankruptcies of the Gallup, Stockton, and Davenport dioceses and the Weinstein Company.

Iain’s representations of creditors’ committees concerning insurance coverage issues also include notable non-diocesan sex-abuse-related bankruptcies such as Boy Scouts of America and USA Gymnastics.

Other cases Iain has been involved in revolve around debtors’ obligations for SIRS and deductibles in bankruptcy (e.g., law firms Sedgwick and Heller Ehrman) and the complex interplay between state insurance regulators and bankruptcy-court jurisdiction.
