Joshua L. Blosveren has a long record of successful advocacy in highly visible and valuable commercial disputes. Josh’s work includes representing domestic and international clients in a diverse range of complex business litigation matters, including insurance recovery for policyholders and matters involving commercial disputes, securities claims, FINRA arbitrations, intellectual property, and civil RICO. Josh’s insurance recovery practice encompasses advising and representing clients in connection with a wide array of policies and coverages, including general liability, directors & officers, errors & omissions, media, property, business interruption, representation & warranty, cyber, cargo & storage, fidelity & crime, and food & beverage.
Josh has successfully litigated and tried cases and argued appeals in numerous state and federal courts and arbitral forums. Recent successes include winning a trial in the Delaware Superior Court for Syngenta in a case implicating hundreds of millions of dollars of losses arising from thousands of personal injury claims and then securing a precedential decision from the Delaware Supreme Court upholding the trial court’s two summary judgment rulings in favor of Syngenta. Josh also secured an appellate victory for Fabrique Innovations, Inc. over Federal Insurance Company in which the Second Circuit affirmed the district court’s decision awarding Fabrique not only the full amount of its loss but also the full amount of the fees it incurred in attempting to mitigate the loss in a bankruptcy litigation.
Josh has received many honors for his work, including being named a Northeast Trailblazer by The American Lawyer and an Elite Boutique Trailblazer by The National Law Journal. He has also been recognized as a leading insurance coverage lawyer by Chambers USA and a top litigator by Benchmark Litigation since 2019.
Josh was appointed in 2013 by the Chief Judge of the State of New York to serve on the Commercial Division Advisory Council, a permanent group that advises the Chief Judge on an ongoing basis regarding all matters involving the Commercial Division of the State of New York and works to implement changes aimed at improving the courts of the Commercial Division. He also holds leadership roles on various American Bar Association committees.
Prior to joining Hoguet Newman Regal & Kenney, Josh practiced at the international law firms Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP and Salans LLP (now Dentons).
He is admitted to practice in New York and before the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
