John Fatino Authors Equitable Subrogation Issues: A Circuit by Circuit Survey
Attorney John Fatino authored "Equitable Subrogation Issues: A Circuit by Circuit Survey" in the Winter 2025 edition of Fidelity & Surety Law Committee Newsletter (of ABA-TIPS). The article starts on page 9.
Subrogation is an important right of the surety. It is the means by which a surety can minimize or ameliorate its losses by assuring its priority to contract funds remaining in the hands of the obligee. Consequently, the surety and its counsel will want to make certain that the surety has taken all possible steps to preserve and assert such rights. The article will serve to acquaint the newcomer with the doctrine of subrogation and sharpen the saw for those more seasoned practitioners.
Fatino is a frequent author for industry publications and speaker at regional and national seminars about surety and fidelity, construction, and complex commercial litigation topics. He was assisted by Abigail Goulding, J.D. candidate, Drake University Law School.
