Our team has extensive experience advising insurance clients on employment practices liability (EPL) policies and handling claims. We understand a claim that may initially appear frivolous can quickly become a significant liability if not managed correctly or resolved early.
We objectively assess EPL risks and assist clients with resolving potentially substantial claims, particularly when the severity may not be fully appreciated at the outset. This is particularly important when attorneys’ fees and defense costs can quickly exceed the value of the claim itself.
Our team advises insurers on the entire spectrum of employment claims, including those involving wage and hour issues, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, national origin discrimination, retaliation and whistleblower lawsuits, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and other regulatory matters, disability discrimination, wrongful termination, third-party sexual harassment, negligent hiring and supervision, breach of employment contract, and professional employment organization (PEO) policy coverage and exposure.
Drawing from our well-established national defense practice, we efficiently assist clients in evaluating the merits of underlying employment claims and aid defense counsel in achieving an optimal resolution.
