About Nicole “Nicky” Langesfeld, J.D. ’19
Nicky was Reed Smith’s first summer associate in the Miami office in 2018, and she joined the firm the following year as an associate in the firm’s Insurance Recovery Group. Her practice focused on litigating and settling insurance coverage disputes on behalf of U.S. policyholders. As a bilingual lawyer with Argentinian roots, Nicky also worked on international litigation matters.
Nicky earned her J.D. from the University of Miami, where she was a member of the University’s Business Law Review, and she received two undergraduate degrees from the University of Florida. Nicky, 26, is survived by her father, Pablo, mother, Andrea, and brother, Martin. Nicky’s husband, Luis Sadovnic, also lost his life in the tower collapse. They met while studying at the University of Florida in Gainesville and married in January 2021.
