Our attorneys assist insurers with claims investigations, coverage interpretation, coverage analysis, policy drafting, and litigation of losses throughout the United States and abroad. We assist in Department of Insurance inquiries and hearings. Our attorneys also regularly conduct and participate in fraud and arson investigations, including conducting examinations under oath and handling "bad faith" litigation, and have testified in criminal trials arising out of questionable claims. We also regularly conduct and participate in appraisals. Our attorneys serve as national coverage counsel and national coordinating counsel for several insurers, and often monitor litigation across the country. Although we would prefer that you have some experience in first party property insurance law, we are also interested in working with developing talented attorneys who come to us with excellent skills in any litigation arena.
