Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is pleased to announce that Miami-based partner, Andrea DeField, and counsel, Cary Steklof, were recently named to Florida Trend magazine’s 2021 Legal Elite Up & Comers.

All in-state members of the Florida Bar were invited to participate in acknowledging their peers, recommending lawyers across varying practice areas, including government and non-profit. DeField and Steklof were included in a special category for attorneys under the age of 40 who have exhibited leadership in the law and in their community. Only 111 attorneys across the state of Florida were selected for this recognition. 

As part of the firm’s Insurance practice group, DeField finds risk management, risk transfer, and insurance recovery solutions for public and private companies. She represents policyholders in a variety of insurance coverage disputes including those arising out of COVID-19, construction defect and wrongful death suits, hurricanes, data breaches, ransomware attacks, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory investigations and actions, class actions, and shareholder derivative suits.

Steklof represents individual, corporate and municipal policyholders in all types of first- and third-party insurance coverage and bad faith disputes. With experience in the areas of insurance litigation, insurer bad faith and unfair insurance practices, he concentrates his practice on advising policyholders in connection with director and officer, error and omission, cyber, commercial general liability and commercial property insurance policies.
