Counsels and defends multi-line insurance carriers and regional insurance companies in complex insurance coverage, bad faith, and rescission/fraud matters, and represents clients in risk transfer commercial litigation matters.
Anthony L. Miscioscia is a Principal and Co-Chair of the firm's Insurance Law Department and has a broad range of experience in complex insurance coverage, bad faith, and commercial litigation matters. He is a knowledgeable and experienced coverage attorney and litigator who provides cost-effective, proactive advice to clients in the hopes of avoiding or minimizing litigation, and tenaciously represents clients in suits when needed.
With nearly 30 years of experience representing and defending large, multi-line insurance carriers and smaller, regional insurance companies, Mr. Miscioscia provides counsel on complex and emerging issues under both first-party and third-party insurance policies. He handles coverage and litigation matters including construction defect; environmental liability and toxic tort; premises liability; advertising injury/intellectual property; first-party property and business interruption; homeowner’s; legal, accounting, and other professional liability; educator's legal liability; employment discrimination (EPLI); employee benefits coverage (EBL); directors and officers (D&O); and bad faith claims.
Mr. Miscioscia's practice also includes advising and defending insurers in insurance coverage disputes, including first-party business interruption and civil authority shutdown claims related to the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, and large, multi-party construction defect claims. He counsels clients concerning their rights and obligations with respect to a variety of claims and different types of liability insurance policies, assists clients in evaluating and mediating claims, and identifies potential additional sources of recovery and/or contribution for defense or indemnity that may be owed to a particular insured (including risk transfer and additional insured tenders).
In his litigation practice, Mr. Miscioscia actively defends clients' rights and interests in state and federal court, as well as at arbitration/mediation, when they are at odds with insureds, claimants, and/or other carriers. He regularly defends insurance clients against bad faith, breach of contract, and declaratory judgment claims, and litigates affirmative actions for declaratory relief, reimbursement, and/or contribution. Additionally, Mr. Miscioscia represents insurance company clients in intervention proceedings, which allows the insurers to shape the jury verdict sheet or jury interrogatories that may lead to a verdict against an insured so that the insurer can allocate any indemnity between potentially covered exposure and uncovered amounts more effectively. He also has served as national coverage counsel advising an insurer concerning first and third-party COVID claims nationwide and represented several other carriers on COVID-related coverage matters.
Mr. Miscioscia also represents commercial clients in litigation and arbitration regarding business and commercial disputes. This includes contractual indemnification, product liability, defamation, and breach of contract claims.
In 2020, Mr. Miscioscia was recognized as a “Top 10 Author” in Insurance in the JD Supra Readers' Choice Awards. He was also selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2025 for Insurance Law and Litigation - Construction, and in 2022 was named a "Lawyer of the Year" in Philadelphia, PA for Insurance Law by U.S. News - Best Lawyers®.
