Mr. Fitzgerald has tried over 40 trials in state and federal courts during his career, and has been involved in over 20 arbitrations. His broad-based, complex litigation practice will focus on complex commercial cases and arbitrations, including insurance matters.

Fitzgerald is known for defending major insurers in a $1.4 billion case involving first and third party coverage and bad faith environmental insurance in Texas and California. He also litigated an insurance coverage case for a drug manufacturer and policyholder, which resulted in the California Supreme Court defining the law on lost insurance policies.

Akin Gump chairperson Kim Koopersmith has said Fitzgerald “brings tremendous talent and depth to our West Coast litigation practice. His depth of skills, record of success across venues and substantial experience in an industry-insurance-where many of our clients reside make him an excellent complement to our California and firmwide litigation teams.”

He earned his J.D. from Fordham University School of Law and a B.S.B.A from Georgetown University School of Business.
