Our insurance practice has the depth, experience, and capabilities necessary to provide the full range of asbestos claims advice, counseling, and litigation to clients across the U.S.
We have been handling asbestos insurance coverage matters for more than three decades. We do it often and we do it well. Specifically, we represent insurers in connection with asbestos bodily injury and property damage claims under primary, umbrella, and excess policies. We provide our clients with advice regarding their policyholders’ demands for coverage and litigate coverage disputes in state and federal courts, including bankruptcy courts, by either filing declaratory judgment actions to resolve disputes or defending suits brought by the insureds, other insurers, or even tort plaintiffs.
We regularly assume a lead role with insurers in joint defense groups at all stages of litigation, from pretrial to discovery and at trial. We have secured significant rulings in favor of insurers in trial and appellate courts across the U.S. We also work to resolve disputes out of court and have negotiated numerous settlements on very favorable terms. Finally, we also defend asbestos entities if our insurance clients require a staunch defense of their insureds.
