Charles L. Sutter

As a member of the Casualty Department, Charles serves as an associate attorney defending high-exposure cases involving commercial and personal automobile liability, general liability, premises liability, and products liability.

Prior to joining the firm, Charles managed a diverse national and international caseload focused on product liability subrogation and personal injury claims, representing insurance carriers and their insureds—including foreign manufacturers, distributors, and retailers—in both federal and state courts across the United States, Canada, and Europe. His work encompassed all phases of litigation and pre-litigation, including coordinating expert investigations across multiple disciplines, managing local counsel, and providing strategic legal and indemnification analysis. He was also responsible for developing defense and resolution strategies, preparing client reports, negotiating multi-case retention agreements with experts and consultants, and resolving matters through complex settlements.

Earlier in his career, Charles litigated complex commercial and contract disputes and also managed a high volume of business immigration matters, including both immigrant and non-immigrant visa cases.

Charles received his juris doctor from the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, where he was named to the Dean’s List and served on the Hofstra Law Review. He earned his undergraduate degree in Political Science, magna cum laude, from Drew University. He is admitted to practice in the state of New York.
