Richard Stone’s practice is concentrated in the area of marine insurance litigation (including hull, marine liabilities, cargo and yachts) primarily with respect to policy coverage and defense. Richard also has extensive experience in matters involving the ocean transportation of goods, both bulk and packaged, arising out of marine casualties (e.g., collision, stranding and sinking) including salvage and general average. He has substantial arbitration experience, usually on behalf of the charterer, and has, on occasion, been nominated to serve as an arbitrator.

Richard was asked to join Nicoletti Hornig & Sweeney as a partner in 2012 when the prominent New York maritime law firm with which he had been practicing for 33 years closed its doors.
