About Michael Scanlon

I am a litigator in the Washington, D.C, office of Haynes and Boone, LLP, who focuses on insurance recovery. I represented companies seeking insurance coverage for payments made to shareholders challenging M&A transaction in two of the first cases to consider the scope of the “bump-up exclusion” in D&O insurance policies. I have a range of litigation experience, having served as the lead associate on two federal jury trials—a month-long toxic tort trial involving alleged dust and pesticides blowing off a seed farm and a two-week trade secret case involving technology to track and remediate domain abuse. I also helped with high-profile white-collar investigations and have worked on many environmental and trade matters. I received a bachelor’s degree, summa cum laude, and a doctorate from Columbia University in the City of New York, and a juris doctor from Stanford Law School.
