Mass Torts Claims + Litigation

We represent insurance clients in complex coverage disputes arising from high-profile mass torts and other class action claims.

Insurers rely on our international team to handle their most significant and high-stakes insurance coverage litigation, including high-profile mass tort and other class action claims. Where appropriate, we seamlessly incorporate experienced counsel from the firm’s core areas, including product liability, corporate, bankruptcy and restructuring, and intellectual property, to provide a comprehensive analysis of the insured’s potential exposure and relevant insurance coverage issues. Our attorneys are particularly experienced dealing with insolvent or defunct insureds, corporate succession issues, environmental claims, and health care matters.
