Insurance and Reinsurance

Loyal, enduring client relationships are the cornerstone of our insurance coverage practice.

Our attorneys bring decades of experience representing some of the country’s largest and most sophisticated insurance and reinsurance companies, successfully navigating their highest-stakes coverage matters. We counsel our clients in all aspects of their most sensitive and critical coverage-related disputes, starting with preliminary liability and exposure analyses and continuing through trial-court motions practice, trials and appeals. We strategically limit the number of insurance clients we represent. This avoids conflicts and gives us flexibility to handle matters and pursue claims against other insurance companies that our key competitors cannot.  Loyalty is key to our firm – loyalty to each other and loyalty to our clients. We do our best by each other and for our clients.     

As a Chambers USA-ranked insurer practice group, our team is recognized for its “strong reputation for handling long-tail claims, such as asbestos and environmental liabilities.” For three decades, we have been at the intersection of insurance, bankruptcy and mass torts.  Our matters include claims for insurance coverage for a wide range of underlying liabilities, including environmental and chemical exposure, asbestos, product liability, pharmaceuticals, construction defect, wrongful convictions and sexual abuse, under all types of first-party and third-party liability policies. We represent insurers in direct insurance coverage, contractual and extra-contractual, and reinsurance disputes. We routinely appear as lead bankruptcy and coverage counsel in the country’s highest-profile cases. Our bankruptcy expertise allows us to help our clients identify and manage risks related to policyholder insolvencies and advocate effectively for our clients in those proceedings.

No matter the size or scope of the dispute, clients rely on our lean and aggressive team of attorneys to advise them on and to litigate complex coverage issues under all types of insurance policies, including:

  • Comprehensive general liability

  • Pollution liability

  • Professional liability

  • Errors and omissions liability (E&O)

  • Directors and officers liability (D&O)

  • Private equity liability

At the heart of our practice are industry-leading attorneys recognized by their peers as practical and solutions-oriented advocates. Our clients turn to us to provide a detail-oriented approach to cutting-edge legal problems. They have confidence in our ability to address creatively their biggest exposures and to resolve, with them, their toughest challenges.
