We represent policyholders confronting coverage issues under auto, CGL, D&O, employment practices, environmental, fiduciary, professional liability, and umbrella and excess policies. We have experience in handling coverage issues in underlying litigation involving toxic torts such as asbestos and silica exposure, environmental cleanup, products liability, securities class-action litigation, breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims, legal and medical malpractice actions, and construction litigation, among others. We seek not only to devise strategies for obtaining defense and indemnification at the outset of a liability claim, but we also analyze ultimate potential exposures to design comprehensive strategies for maximizing our clients’ insurance recovery.
