INSURANCE INDUSTRY SERVICES

Write what you know – That’s the adage of many a budding novelist, playwright or screenwriter. It can also be good advice for attorneys. Practice what you know. The attorneys in our insurance industry practice group do just that, providing service to our insurance clients based on their decades of experience as in house counsel for a publicly traded insurance company, as well as their service as general counsel to and as a director for an existing insurance company.

The insurance industry faces a unique mixture of corporate, regulatory and litigation concerns, that’s why having an attorney who knows the insurance industry inside and out is paramount. Having been employed as in house general counsel and outside counsel for insurance companies for decades, our attorneys are able to apply this experience to achieve value-added results for not only insurance companies, but also the agencies, brokers and other parties that market and manage their products. Through our strong relationships with current and former insurance executives, underwriters, brokers and regulators, we are able to provide innovative, sophisticated guidance to clients throughout the insurance industry. This experience also enables us to, when needed, provide defense counsel in litigation whether it be at the corporate or claims based level.
