Carlos Needham Joins Tressler's Orange County Office
Orange County, CA, February 3, 2023 - Tressler is proud to welcome Carlos Needham as senior counsel in our Insurance Practice Group. Carlos’ practice focus is insurance coverage litigation on behalf of insurers. His experience in this area began at a firm in Houston in the ‘90’s and has continued at firms in Los Angeles, and now in Orange County, California. Primarily, Carlos has handled major claims litigation arising from commercial general liability coverage as applied to environmental and product liability scenarios. He has also handled disputes arising from other types of coverage, including property and D&O. Outside of the coverage area, Carlos has substantial experience in class action and mass torts litigation (asbestos, pharmaceuticals, medical products, breast implants and welding rods). Carlos recently served as counsel at a major insurer and provides a unique perspective and responsive client service on all matters.
"I am thrilled about joining Tressler," said Carlos. "It has an unsurpassed national reputation in the insurance coverage practice area, to which I have largely devoted my professional career.”

He was counsel at O’Melveny & Myers and a partner at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips in Los Angeles.
