LITIGATION COUNSEL
Once coverage is analyzed and the coverage position is communicated to the insured or a co-insurer, litigation (or its administrative equivalent, e.g. arbitration) may be the most appropriate course of action. Sometimes the insured sues the insurer and its claims handler for coverage and alleged claims-handling missteps. Whether litigation is initiated by the insurer, the insured, another insurer, or another party via covenant judgment, your company wants the issue handled properly. Your company's lawyer needs to have successfully represented claims handlers and insurers in complicated multi-party declaratory judgment, contribution, allocation, covenant judgment, and so-called "bad faith" claims in multiple venues, including litigation in state/federal courts and presentations to arbitration panels. I have been doing that for 30 years.
A visit to my site's Document Room page will confirm I am an accomplished litigator of complex insurance coverage and bad faith matters in state and federal courts, with substantial experience in intellectual property and professional liability coverage claims. Most suits include bad faith claims that typically involve complex discovery issues, and I have had success in assisting state and federal courts to appreciate insurers' positions on these difficult questions. I am an efficient, effective litigator who wastes neither my time nor your money.
