MARY CRAIG CALKINS
Partner, Insurance Recovery
Blank Rome LLP

Mary Craig Calkins is one of the nation’s most trusted and accomplished policyholder advocates, with more than 35 years of precedent-shaping insurance recovery experience across directors and officers liability (D&O), errors and omissions, media and entertainment, intellectual property, cyber/privacy, e-commerce/technology, first party property, and business interruption claims.

As lead coverage counsel for an international media and communications company, Calkins recovered over $150 million in insurance to resolve multiple shareholder class and derivative actions. She recovered $90 million for a television news company—one of the earliest media matters to test insurance issues arising from the #MeToo movement. For a US oil and gas exploration company, she negotiated insurer funding of a shareholder class action.
