Sophisticated insurers rely on our extensive knowledge and experience to guide them with respect to their most complex, high-value directors and officers (D&O) liability claims. We help clients identify, evaluate and allocate claims, and proactively resolve disputes in the most efficient manner possible.
Some of the largest domestic and international insurers trust our team to help them anticipate and avoid risk. We handle a wide variety of complex claims involving directors and officers policies and related lines of coverage. We represent clients in high-stakes lawsuits, regulatory investigations involving directors and officers of public and private companies, and complex claims involving financial institutions. Because of this experience, we develop innovative and practical solutions to resolve conflicts quickly or even avoid them completely.
We have decades of experience representing clients in complex securities matters. We have been deeply involved in some of the most significant securities cases, including Lehman Brothers and other subprime/credit crisis-related litigation, Madoff-related litigation, options backdating-related litigation, Enron, Tyco, WorldCom, HealthSouth, and IPO laddering. Clients further benefit from our experience in underlying liability issues, such as analyzing exposures presented by the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and similar legislation. We help clients closely examine damages and assess settlement valuation models to ensure we have every angle covered.
Our litigators focus on results. We handle complex insurance coverage litigation before federal and state trial and appellate courts, as well as alternative dispute resolution proceedings, such as arbitrations and mediations. We can often head off litigation before it even begins. When litigation is unavoidable, we bring to bear time-tested trial experience to reach the best outcome possible.
We keep clients up to date with useful, practical analyses of federal and state court cases that address a wide variety of coverage issues. Our annual publication, D&O and Professional Liability – A Year in Review, which highlights many of the key decisions delivered by courts in nearly every jurisdiction of the U.S. regarding a number of D&O and professional liability insurance coverage issues, is highly regarded and frequently referenced by our clients and industry professionals. Additionally, we consistently provide our clients with training and educational seminars that address a wide range of insurance industry topics.
