Claire M. Hankin-Wray counsels and defends insurers and self-insured corporations, employers, commercial property owners, and product manufacturers in a wide range of complex commercial and civil litigation, class actions, reinsurance, professional liability, regulatory, and contract-based matters. She defends clients in state and federal courts throughout New York, and advises them on a national and international scale. Her experience additionally covers general liability claims involving personal injury and property damage, real property and title disputes, and alternative dispute resolution, retail and hospitality, as well as intellectual property and internet law.

Claire’s understanding of internet, media, and intellectual property law is particularly deep. She draws on experience spanning undergraduate internships with MTV Networks’ Music and Media Licensing Department in New York City and MTV Networks Australia’s Business and Legal Affairs department in Sydney; an internship with Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society; and a volunteer assistantship with the Internet Bureau of the New York State Office of Attorney General, where she investigated consumer frauds and illegal internet activity and assisted with matters involving the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the Class Action Fairness Act, and data breach notification laws and discovery privileges.
