About Dorothea Regal

Dorothea Regal is a partner at HNRK. She has nearly 40 years of experience in successfully representing and counselling corporate policyholders. She has helped policyholders recover hundreds of millions of dollars from insurers under liability, property, and other specialised insurance policies including recoveries for environmental liabilities and long-tail claims. As one example, she and her team won a groundbreaking ruling for Syngenta in a USD170 million insurance coverage dispute against more than 50 insurers over product liability claims involving the company’s herbicide. At issue was insurance coverage for defence costs and a settlement in a nationwide class action brought by water systems claiming decades-old contamination.
