Tracy Alan Saxe is one of the founding members of SDV as well as its President. He is a skilled commercial litigator with 40 years of trial experience. Tracy began his career handling a diverse array of general litigation matters, from a criminal court trial where his client was acquitted of murder to the representation of a certified class of independent book publishers in a bankruptcy court trial. Over time, his practice steadily narrowed to concentrate on more complicated and intellectually challenging areas and, since 1990, his focus has been on advocating for the rights of policyholders.
Tracy has litigated insurance coverage matters all over the country involving construction defects, completed operations, product liability, property damage and bodily injury claims related to mold and asbestos, "sick building" syndrome, environmental claims, business interruption, employment disputes, patent infringement, breach of fiduciary duty, and more. Tracy enjoys working in conjunction with sophisticated corporate clients and their brokers to create unique and customized strategies to resolve complex legal issues.
