We represent insurers of all sizes in matters involving professional liability claims. We are regularly developing and implementing defense strategies that protect a professional reputation while achieving desired results.
We understand the differences between negotiation and litigation, and when and how to deploy these strategies most effectively. In certain cases, negotiated settlements can help reduce dispute-resolution costs, ensure confidentiality, and minimize other negative consequences associated with protracted, public trials. Our insurance clients call on us to assist with a variety of sensitive issues, including determining whether a claim is covered under the policy, analyzing whether other types of insurance may be implicated, and evaluating the merits of the underlying claim. In addition to serving as primary outside counsel, we frequently work with in-house and other defense counsel in formulating negotiation strategies for resolving claims.
When disputes cannot or should not be resolved through negotiated settlements, our practice has extensive experience litigating insurance coverage issues under professional liability policies. We routinely advise clients with respect to policy rescission matters, allocation issues, challenging whether claims involve professional services, and filing appeals or pursuing other options where a client or insured already has suffered an adverse ruling at trial.
