William H. Briggs

Bill Briggs focused his practice on complex litigation, insurance, and nuclear regulation.

Bill represented and advised insurance carriers in complex coverage disputes, environmental and mass tort matters, insurance fraud litigation, and first and third-party bad faith lawsuits.
