Environmental Insurance Coverage

Our team has successfully handled significant environmental coverage matters in state and federal courts throughout the U.S. and internationally under both general liability and pollution policies. We help insurance companies evaluate existing coverage, draft effective policies that incorporate emerging issues, and quickly resolve disputes through effective negotiation, mediation, arbitration and, when necessary, litigation.

Our nationally recognized environmental and regulatory attorneys collaborate to advise on the entire range of coverage issues and regulatory challenges they may face. We work on the most complex aspects of environmental insurance coverage in the industry — from allocation, pollution exclusions, and NODS issues to business interruption, pre-tender, and application fraud. Our attorneys have extensive experience with a wide range of substances, including asbestos, benzene, PFAS, and VOCs.

We have successfully litigated matters involving a wide range of insureds, including oil and gas companies, chemical companies, wastewater treatment facilities, airports, and manufacturers of a variety of products. Our team also prepares comprehensive settlement packages, formulating legal and factual positions on behalf of clients that seek to reduce projected cleanup costs, increase participation by other potentially responsible parties, minimize defense costs, and resolve the matters in the most comprehensive and expeditious manner possible.
