Brandon Sipple is special counsel in Kennedys’ New York office. He advises domestic and international insurers on high-exposure coverage matters and represents them in complex litigation and arbitration across the United States.  He is routinely engaged on technically sophisticated disputes involving significant insured values, layered insurance programs, and issues of strategic importance to senior claims and underwriting leadership.

Brandon’s practice centers on complex first-party property and specialty insurance matters arising from large-scale loss events, multi-site exposures, and enterprise-level coverage questions.  He regularly counsels carriers on coverage strategy, allocation issues, and resolution planning in matters involving substantial financial and reputational stakes. His experience spans catastrophe-related losses, business interruption and time element claims, builders risk and marine exposures, and other technically complex property disputes.

In addition to his first-party practice, Brandon represents insurers in multi-party and multi-carrier disputes across casualty and specialty lines. He works closely with claims and underwriting teams to develop clear, defensible coverage positions aligned with commercial objectives.

Brandon brings a distinctive perspective shaped by prior service as in-house coverage counsel and a claims executive for leading global insurers.  His experience across the full insurance lifecycle, from policy drafting and regulatory analysis to claims handling and litigation, enables him to deliver advice that is both legally precise and operationally grounded.
