NEW YORK, July 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- John M.

Mr. Nonna was named "Elite Lawyer"—the top honor in a category recognizing outstanding insurance and reinsurance lawyers in the United States market—in The Legal Elite, an annual survey conducted by Intelligent Insurer identifying law firms and lawyers that lead the field in this important area of legal service. Mr. Nonna also earned the top honor on the survey in 2010 and 2012.

The Legal Elite honors firms from US, UK and Bermuda markets for excellence in litigation, claims, regulation and reinsurance. The survey also recognizes outstanding individual practitioners from each of the three markets, with the designation "Elite Lawyer" honoring the most notable of those listed.

In compiling the list of winners, the magazine surveyed a variety of sources from throughout the insurance, reinsurance and legal spheres, including in-house counsel, brokers and notable lawyers who serve the industry. Survey results were then coupled with research conducted by the magazine to create the list of winners.

"I am gratified and honored by the recognition that my clients and peers have graciously conferred upon me," said Mr. Nonna. "I look forward to continuing to provide clients with the highest quality service and value and to work with fellow practitioners to uphold the standards of the legal profession."

In March, Mr. Nonna was appointed managing partner of the firm's New York office where he provides a clear point of reference for clients to access firm services and develops business for existing New York practices, including corporate finance, commercial and securities litigation, insurance and reinsurance dispute resolution, real estate investment and development, white collar and government investigations. Particularly well-known for his work in commercial litigation generally and in the insurance and reinsurance areas in particular, he has handled several of the largest reinsurance arbitrations on record and applies innovative approaches to the range of business matters he litigates both inside and outside the insurance industry.
