Coverage Litigation
Our Insurance Group represents parties in the context of coverage disputes, whether they be declaratory judgment actions and appeals, or alternative dispute resolution proceedings.
Regulatory
Our attorneys counsel insured clients with wide-ranging statutory and regulatory interpretation and litigation matters.
Subrogation
When our carrier clients are involved in first-party payments for property losses, our attorneys aggressively pursue subrogation actions on their behalf to recover sums paid due to the fault of a third-party.
Subrogation claims have included recovery for losses due to construction defect claims, catastrophic building fires, automobile liability, construction damage, equipment and machinery malfunction, and many others.

Our attorneys are available to provide legal counsel to parties involved in mergers and acquisitions, and the myriad of insurance-related issues that often arise.
