Insurance Coverage Consultation

Whether it’s before the need for litigation or at the “eleventh hour” before trial, we are a proven go-to leader for policyholders and their counsel. We’ve negotiated countless large settlements including multi-million dollar recoveries in a broad range of complex insurance matters.

Our approach is to understand our clients’ goals and striving to attain them. We do this by our passionate commitment to research and thorough preparation. We’ve handled matters regarding insurance coverage for advertising liabilities, trademark infringement, directors’ and officers’ liabilities, earthquakes, employment, discrimination, and harassment claims; errors and omissions claims, Internet and domain losses; and self-insured retention disputes. We also represent clients in insurance broker disputes.

Uncommon illumination:  When an insurance company wrongfully fails to defend its policyholder, one might consider a “Settlement and Limited Recourse Agreement.” There, the policyholder agrees to prosecute a Bad Faith suit against the insurance company. This has many very important advantages over the old conventional approach of simply assigning the bad faith claim to the third party plaintiff.

Coverage Analysis

The Firm often assists other firms by providing coverage analysis early in cases.  We provide further assistance by suggesting discovery strategies to maximize coverage and by attending mediations to clarify any coverage issues with mediators and opposing coverage counsel.
