Gary Khutorsky concentrates his practice on defending insurers nationally in insurance coverage and bad faith litigation, including general liability, professional liability, automobile liability, and property coverage.

For over three decades, Gary's work has involved every aspect of insurer representation, from rendering coverage advice to prosecuting and defending declaratory judgment actions at the trial court level and on appeal. In the course of his practice, he has authored thousands of coverage opinions, litigated hundreds of declaratory actions, and has been involved in some of the highest profile and complex coverage matters of the day, including the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal at Penn State, San Bernardino and Pulse Nightclub mass shootings, U.S. Soccer concussion litigation, the mass casualty event at the 2021 Astroworld Festival, the Champlain Towers Surfside collapse, and other notable cases.
