June 1, 2022
Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is pleased to announce that partner Andrea DeField was named to Law360’s Rising Stars for 2022, an annual compilation of lawyers under the age of 40 whose legal accomplishments transcend their age. Of the 1,350 applicants, winners were selected based on their career accomplishments in their respective disciplines with only five being chosen for the insurance practice area.
As co-lead of the firm’s cyber insurance practice group, DeField counsels policyholder clients on all types of insurance policies and coverage issues, with a focus on insurance for cyber risks (including ransomware, large scale data breach, and social engineering claims). She also has experience advising clients on directors and officers liability and professional liability insurance issues; hurricane claims; and commercial general liability insurance disputes, including those arising out of construction defect claims, wrongful death, and pollution incidents. In 2021 alone, she recovered over $120 million for policyholder clients. DeField is a prolific author and lecturer on insurance and risk management topics, presenting at education seminars, bar association conferences, and industry and client events nationwide, and in the past year, she has also been featured as a Rising Star for Insurance by Legal 500, a Legal Elite Up & Comer by Florida Trend, and “One to Watch” by The Best Lawyers in America.
