What Nicoletti Spinner Ryan Gulino Pinter does

Nicoletti Spinner Ryan Gulino Pinter LLP (NSRGP) is a privately held, New York-headquartered insurance defense litigation boutique founded in 1995 by Frank M. Nicoletti after his tenure at large national firms. The firm maintains two offices — its headquarters at 555 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and a New Jersey office in Hackensack — and represents major national and international insurance and reinsurance companies, alongside commercial and private clients, in state and federal courts across New York and New Jersey. NSRGP has grown to over 40 attorneys, including 18 named partners and a sizable associate roster, supported by counsel and of-counsel positions.

The firm operates as a full-service insurance litigation practice with eleven core practice areas: Construction Law, General Liability, Insurance Coverage, Property Insurance, Trucking and Auto Accidents, Reinsurance, Product Liability, Professional Indemnity, Medical Malpractice, Mass Tort and Environmental Claims, and Americans with Disabilities Act representation. Its technical capability is rooted in deep coverage analysis at primary, excess, and umbrella levels, reinsurance arbitration and litigation, and trial and appellate representation in high-exposure tort matters. Individual partners hold leadership positions in industry bodies such as ABOTA, DANY, and the International Association of Claim Professionals, and the firm markets its reputation for aggressive yet practical case handling developed over three decades.

NSRGP generates revenue through professional services billing on insurance defense engagements, with fees negotiated per matter based on complexity and scope. Its go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, relying on established relationships with carrier general counsels, claims departments, and risk managers, supplemented by professional association participation and published trial and appellate decisions. The firm is structured as a limited liability partnership owned by its named partners, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external capital structure. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.
