Andrew Gallogly has been associated with the firm since 1986, and a partner since 1990.

Andrew has developed and maintains a diverse practice, though his work now primarily involves insurance coverage related matters, appellate work, the representation of travel industry defendants, and complex civil litigation matters including the defense of insurance agents and brokers, construction related claims involving indemnification and additional insured coverage issues, general personal injury, and commercial matters.

Andrew has handled numerous appeals in the Superior and Supreme Courts of Pennsylvania, as well as the United States Courts of Appeals for the Third, First and Seventh Circuits, both in connection with his own cases, and for other attorneys within the firm.

In addition to providing coverage opinions, authoring reservation of rights and disclaimer letters, and representing insurers in coverage litigation and appeals in the state and federal courts, Andrew’s coverage practice has involved the review, writing and revision of manuscript policy forms and endorsements for several insurers and managing agents, including a substantial revision of an existing claims made professional liability insurance program for travel agents and tour operators, as well as the creation of policy forms with respect to a new insurance program for ambulance and other emergency service providers.

For many years, Andrew has also represented, or overseen local counsel in the defense of overseas personal injury claims against domestic travel agents, tour operators and hotel brand management companies, as well as foreign hotel owners, excursion operators and ground service providers, involving complex liability, jurisdictional and choice-of-law issues.
