Insurance Business America Names Andrea DeField Among 2022 Elite Women

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP partner Andrea DeField was recognized among Insurance Business America (IBA)’s Elite Women 2022. This annual list spotlights 85 “ground-breaking women of influence… who have been making their voices heard in what was once a male-dominated field” from insurance sectors such as marketing and human resource experts to business executives and entrepreneurs.

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 2022 Insurance Rising Star by Law360, 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.
