We represent business and not-for-profit policyholders in casualty insurance coverage matters. Our practice includes representing clients in disputed claims, appraisal and arbitration proceedings, and litigation and appeals, including declaratory judgment suits. Our experience encompasses the full spectrum of first-party and liability commercial policies, including policies underwritten by domestic insurers and international underwriters.

We counsel and represent clients in all major industries. These include the energy sector—on- and off-shore E&P and midstream companies—transportation and commercial aviation, biotech and information technology, finance and securities, health-care services, manufacturing, maritime, and retail sales, among others.

Given the opportunity to assist and counsel clients early in the claims-adjusting process, we seek to facilitate the prompt resolution and payment of claims that might otherwise be delayed by avoidable missteps. When well-grounded claims are not paid, we stand ready as trial lawyers to prosecute the matter to a conclusion.

We also advise clients on contractual loss-allocation issues, indemnity and hold-harmless agreements, covenants to procure insurance, and on legal issues posed by the insurance procurement process, and risk-management planning and analysis.

Our senior partner has 30 years of experience in handling insurance-coverage matters and has been recognized as a leading Texas insurance litigator.

Our small size affords us the flexibility to efficiently address our clients’ needs in matters of all sizes, from large, complex claims to smaller claims in which the cost of achieving a recovery may be an issue for our client.
