Mark Horning is a partner in Steptoe's Washington office, where he is a member of the Regulatory & Industry Affairs and Litigation Departments. He practices in the area of the representation of insurance industry clients in litigation matters, principally including antitrust, unfair trade practice, fraud, RICO and regulatory cases. Mr. Horning has represented clients in government enforcement proceedings, parens patriae actions by state attorneys general, and private class actions brought in both federal and state court. He has substantial familiarity with class certification issues under both federal and state rules. Additionally, he has regularly addressed exemptions and immunities from federal and state laws available to insurers, including the McCarran-Ferguson Act, the state action doctrine, the Noerr-Pennington doctrine, the filed rate doctrine and the doctrines of exclusive and primary jurisdiction. He also has extensive knowledge of state unfair and deceptive practices acts (so-called “little FTC acts”), often relied upon in private class actions. In recent years, Mr. Horning has represented insurers in antitrust cases brought by state attorneys general and private class action plaintiffs alleging: (1) agreements to restrict environmental coverages in commercial liability policies; (2) agreements to raise rates for windstorm coverages in homeowners’ policies; (3) agreements to withdraw from workers’ compensation insurance markets; and (4) agreements to fix the price for services provided in so-called “residual markets.” With respect to litigation involving RICO, unfair trade practice and fraud claims, Mr. Horning has represented insurer clients in cases alleging failure to disclose use of unapproved rates, failure to disclose use of so-called “aftermarket crash parts” in automobile repairs, and “bad faith” refusal to pay for diminution in value of motor vehicles covered by automobile insurance policies.
